Medical Review

It is an essential part of any drug and Alcohol testing policy that there should be a review procedure in place that can be accessed in the case of any doubt surrounding the outcome of drug test (this includes a positive Alcohol test also)

A Medical Review Officer (MRO) provides independent and expert scrutiny of positive results under medical confidentiality.  In the case of a positive laboratory result, the MRO must determine whether this indicates the use of drugs in contravention of a company’s rules, or whether there may be a legitimate explanation.

The medical review process protects individuals from wrongful accusations when legitimate medications cause a positive result, for example, because they contain over-the-counter opiates.

Not only are wrongful accusations distressing for the individual but can also lead to legal action against the employer along with adverse publicity.
