Post-Incident Workflow
Screen Fast After an Incident, Confirm When Policy Requires.
Post-accident testing often needs speed, observation, and documentation. Oral-fluid collection can be performed on-site without restrooms or medical staff, so your team can take action quickly while preserving a clear path to lab-confirmed results.

How Post-Accident Oral-Fluid Testing Works
Build a repeatable, documented workflow that starts with rapid screening and escalates to lab confirmation when needed.
Rapid Response
Screen On-Site
Collect an observed oral-fluid sample quickly using OraStick™ or OraPlex™, both of which can collect in as little as 60 seconds, so post-incident decisions are not delayed by off-site logistics.
Policy-Ready
Confirm Non-Negatives
If the screen is non-negative, use OraConfirm™ or the OraPlex™ quantitative configuration and route the specimen to a certified lab for confirmation with MRO review.
Clean Records
Document the Event
Store results and documentation in OraTek’s included tracking software to support review, audits, and incident files.
FAQ
Post-Accident Testing Questions
Why use oral fluid for post-accident drug testing?
Oral-fluid testing detects recent, active drug use—making it ideal for post-accident situations where timing matters. Unlike urine testing, which can reflect drug use from days or even weeks earlier, saliva focuses on what is currently in a person’s system. Collection can be observed on-site without restrooms, allowing employers to respond immediately, document the incident properly, and preserve a clear path to lab confirmation.
What happens if the initial screen is non-negative?
Use OraConfirm™ or the OraPlex™ quantitative configuration and send the specimen to a certified lab for confirmatory testing with Medical Review Officer reporting, based on your policy.
Do we need medical staff or special facilities?
No. Oral-fluid collection is non-invasive and can be performed by workplace personnel with minimal training.
How do we keep incident documentation organized?
Use OraTek’s included secure portal to keep results and documentation centralized for incident files, audits, and internal review.
