What Services are available?
Drug & alcohol:
There are six situations when drug and alcohol testing can be done. Depending on your goals and the requirements you have to meet, you might want to do testing in all or some of these situations.
We also offer emergency/after-hours testing.
Our drug and alcohol testing services include:
laboratory based urine drug testing
Urine drug specimens are tested in a SAMHSA credited laboratory. We recommend laboratory-based urine drug testing as the most reliable solution as it provides the most legally defensible type of results, recognized by Construction Owners Association of Canada (COAA) and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) as the leading practice within the testing industry.
poct (express)
The devices provide expediency and are generally reliable but are not 100% accurate. Devices which are FDA approved only have to be accurate within 25% of the stated cut off levels. Results are visually read and subject to the collector’s interpretation. CannAmm runs QA/QC protocols on the batches of devices to maximize this accuracy but there is still a discrepancy between the accuracy of these devices and lab based testing. A POCT drug test is ideal when you need results instantly; but if you have time to wait, laboratory testing is the recommended method of testing. The POCT test results meet the same cutoff levels as laboratory results, but are not recognized by the Canadian Model or the U.S. DOT. All samples that screen inconclusive are sent to a SAMHSA certified laboratory for confirmation testing. Sending the sample to the laboratory for confirmation follows the industry standards.
express-to-lab
This test type provides a preliminary express urine drug screen with the laboratory based test as the final result. Performing an express-to-lab eliminates the false result as laboratory testing offers 100% accurate results. The Express to lab is used as a preliminary risk assessment tool (initial screen result). In order to manage the risk of a labor or human rights dispute (should the result come back negative due to authorized medical use, cancelled, invalid, etc.) CannAmm strongly recommends your company defer any action until a laboratory confirmed Medical Review Officer (MRO) verified result is received. If an employee is placed back to work based on the preliminary risk assessment (express screen result) you must be prepared to immediately remove the worker from any safety sensitive position if the final test result comes back positive or Negative with a safety advisory.
Urine Screen and Oral Lab
This test type provides a preliminary express urine drug screen with the laboratory based oral fluid test as the final result. The Urine Screen Express is used as a preliminary risk assessment tool (initial screen result). Due to the difference in matrices there is the potential to have a negative or inconclusive screen that will be different from the final laboratory based Oral Fluid test result. In order to manage risk of labor or Human Rights dispute CannAmm OTS strongly recommends that the company defer any action until the laboratory Oral Fluid confirmed Medical Review Officer (MRO) verified result is received. If an employee is placed back to work based on the preliminary risk assessment (express screen result) you must be prepared to immediately remove the worker from any safety sensitive position if the final test result comes back positive or Negative with a safety advisory.
laboratory based oral fluid testing
All CannAmm oral fluid testing is laboratory-based to give you the accurate results that you can depend on and action reliably if needed. While lab-based oral fluid drug testing is not the gold standard that urine testing is, it can be the best choice in certain situations. Lab-based oral fluid testing is easily administered and supervisors can be trained for testing employees working in remote locations where access to a fixed collection site may be challenging. Lab-based oral fluid testing may be required to meet conditions of ratified agreements in post-accident and reasonable cause scenarios.
* Currently, there are no instant oral fluid testing products that have FDA approval that also test to the approved cut-off levels. FDA approval requires minimum precision and accuracy standards, so this raises a real question of accuracy when it comes to these devices
alcohol testing
Alcohol testing is best done using a breath alcohol test that determines the concentration of alcohol in a breath sample. If a screening result indicates an alcohol level equal to or above 0.020, a breath alcohol confirmation test is performed. An evidentiary breath-testing device is used for the confirmation test to ensure legally defensible results.
Occupational Health Services:
MEDICAL/PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
A medical/physical examination includes a medical history component, and a comprehensive head-to-toe physical assessment to identify current and potential future limiting medical conditions. The goal is to identify potential risks of a cardiovascular, diabetic or neurological event. All medical exams are performed only by qualified individuals and results are reviewed by a nursing team based on medical directives of a qualified physician, assuring quality and consistency.
functional fitness evaluation (FFE)
A functional fitness evaluation (FFE) is a series of tests, conducted in a clinical setting, that mirror the physical demands of the specific position a candidate will be employed in. These tests are developed based on a customized analysis that documents all the physical requirements of the position. The FFE is a risk mitigation tool designed to ensure that the employee is physically able to perform the required duties of the position without undue risk of being injured at the workplace.
audiogram
Audiometric testing assesses a person’s ability to hear tones at various frequencies and decibels (loudness). It helps to determine the effectiveness of ear protection and the degree of hearing loss related to exposure to noise and non-occupational illness. Our audiogram tests include documenting a comprehensive noise exposure history and determining current hearing status by checking for recent loud noise exposure and physically examining the ear. A technician then conducts testing at six frequencies at various decibel levels. A trusted nursing team based on medical directives of a qualified physician will review the history and clinical information to determine testing status according to the province that the work will be taking place in. Finally, your authorized representative receives a secure and confidential report of results.
pulmonary function testing (pft)
A pulmonary function test (PFT) or spirometry measures how well the lungs take in and release air and move gases such as oxygen from the atmosphere into the body. The PFT can be used to assess the effects of toxic substances such as isocyanides on the lungs, check the suitability of wearing self-contained breathing equipment, and assess whether people are fit to occupy strenuous positions, among other things. The PFT is common in ongoing exposure surveillance programs. Our PFT includes obtaining a blood pressure reading, documenting a comprehensive substance exposure history and health history, and determining current lung function status by checking for recent symptoms and recent exposure. A trained technician then conducts a spirometry test to assess actual lung function. The technical equipment measures total lung volume and expiration velocity (volume over time). The PFT is repeated at least three times to ensure the results are reliable.
RESPIRATOR FIT TESTING
Respirator fit testing assesses the degree of protection or seal of a given respirator size according to the acceptable standards set out by the manufacturer. The respirator fit test ensures the personal protective equipment often mandated by legislative requirements fits well enough to do its job and protect the worker from hazardous exposure. The respirator fit test consists of measuring the seal of the respirator during various breathing rates, head positions, and body positions as well as during speech. Your authorized representative will receive a secure and confidential report indicating the respirator fit sizes (or if applicable, when no fit is found). To ensure results are reliable, we check our equipment daily and hold our technicians to the highest standards.
CHEST X-RAY
We offer a few different options for chest x-rays (single and two view), which can be completed at the request of our clients (and where available). The chest x-ray is primarily used to examine lungs, heart and supporting structures to determine any potential lung conditions. A final testing report summary, once completed, is confidentially and securely reported to the authorized company representative.

U.S. DOT mandatory Supervisor Training course details
If you operate vehicles that require a CDL on the public roads and you have more than one employee in the company, you are required to get DOT Supervisor Training. To verify if you are subject to the drug and alcohol regulations, please visit http://www.dot.gov/odapc/am-i-covered
Owner-operators (without employees) are not subject to DOT supervisor training. However, you are still required to register with a consortium for DOT drug and alcohol testing.
As a new contact you will need to familiarize yourself with how to administer and maintain a DOT program. This can be done online through CannAmm’s Online Training Site at https://onlinetraining.cannamm.com/
Alcohol and drug ADMINISTRATORS: Roles and responsibilities
As part of CannAmm commitment to quality and customer service, this section has been prepared to help companies and administrators with FMCSA regulations. You must ask yourself the following:
Have we registered with the FMCSA Clearinghouse and reviewed the employers obligations as outlined under Part 382 – Subpart G? Companies with an FMCSA Portal Account must link their Portal and Clearinghouse Accounts. Instructional job aids are available in Clearinghouse Learning Center
If I am an owner-operator have I designated a C/TPA to report violations and RTD information on my behalf as per § 382.705?
Do we maintain appropriate program records for audit purposes? Requirements are listed in § 382.401 and indicate some records must be kept for a year, two years, five years, or indefinitely.
Is our company policy regarding drugs and alcohol up to date, and has it been provided to all covered employees?
Has each driver covered by the regulations signed a statement confirming receipt of the company policy and information about the regulations and testing program (i.e. driver information as per § 382.601). Are the original statements in our files?
Everyone who supervises a covered driver should be trained in how to comply with the regulations. Do we have proof of training on file? (§ 382.603). For supervisor training through CannAmm you can register online at /training-registration/ or email learning@cannamm.com
Do we ensure to comply with every circumstance for testing as per Part 382 – Subpart C, including random at the specified rate, reasonable cause, and post-accident as required. Return to duty after a violation and a follow up if directed by a substance abuse professional (SAP). Do we have records showing that each driver passed a pre-employment drug test or is exempt before taking a U.S. trip? Remember, employers must ensure required testing is done regardless of who is ultimately responsible to pay for the test under their policy.
Are we providing a list of DOT-qualified SAPs, as required by § 40.287 to drivers who engage in prohibited conduct and not just to those who test positive, whether we continue to employ them or not? Keep a record every time this is done.
new hire check list
ONLY the Driver can register their CDL account with the clearinghouse. This profile will follow them throughout their driving career and will need personal access to it
when is a Pre-employment test not needed?
During the last 30 days, the driver participated in a drug testing program that meets the requirements of the DOT FMCSR Part 382
And the driver has either been tested for drugs in the past 6 months (from the date of application with the employer
Or
The driver participated in the random drug testing program with the last employer for the previous 12 months
This requirement applies only to employees seeking to begin performing safety-sensitive duties for you for the first time (i.e., a new hire, an employee transfers into a safety-sensitive position). If the employee refuses to provide this written consent, you must not permit the employee to perform safety-sensitive functions. Employee pre-employment verification forms need to be filled out.
You will need to contact the previous employer to obtain and retain all information as outlined in DOT Part 382.301
If the information provided on these forms meet the requirements above then the employee is exempt from needing a pre-employment test. The forms will need to be emailed to CannAmm to verify and add the employee.
If the information obtained does NOT meet the requirements of section 382.301, the driver must be pre-employment tested
How are random lists generated?
We send out your Notification for Random Testing lists on a quarterly basis (every 3 months).By Postal mail. The Random list must be kept in your company DOT files. The Randoms must be completed within the quarter they were chosen. Should you require any assistance with these lists, please contact us.
when is a Post-accident test required?
When is it needed?
And/or
What are the testing timeframes?
positive test result?
In the event that one of your employees test positive, contact us immediately. We will guide you through the process and supply you with the proper paperwork. CannAmm has an in-house Substance Abuse Counselor that manages a network of Substance Abuse Professionals located throughout Canada. We will work with you to ensure that all the proper steps are taken in order to adhere to your company policy and related guidelines.
DOT Audits: Guidance & Expectations
DOT companies will have a DOT Audit usually within 12 months after start up
DOT Audit can be an online or onsite.
We require the company to email us all the information requested from the DOT Auditor including the email notification for the Audit. Forward to support@cannamm.com.
CannAmm will provide the documentation for the Drug & Alcohol Testing portion. Only to the company contact, or requesting DOT Officer (confirmation email required from the DOT Auditor)
If passed, FMCSA will continue to monitor the New Entrant’s safety compliance and performance.
If failed, New Entrants must satisfactorily implement a corrective action to correct safety management practices. Failure to do so will result in immediate revocation of U.S. DOT registration.
CannAmm will help guide the company with their corrective actions.
MIS REPORT – DOT Drug and Alcohol Testing Management Information System (MIS) Data Collection Form
The company is to fill and keep MIS Form on file for each year. When they are contacted by DOT for this information. The company will be required to provide it.

How to contact cannamm?
Cannamm’s return to duty program
This program is easy for employers and unions to put in place and maintain.
Our Return-to-Duty Services gives employers and unions:
Conditions of Employment?
The return-to-duty process begins with a Conditions of Employment agreement between the individual returning to work and the employer or Union. By signing this document, the employee agrees to the conditions necessary for him or her to return to work, including a substance use assessment and completion of any treatment or other recommendations before their return to work.
How does the SAP Results Process work?
Employee & employer sign Conditions of Employment form and return it.
RTDS will contact the employee to confirm their location and explain the process. RTDS will then send a referral to a SAP in the employee’s area SAP contacts employee to schedule an assessment.
SAP will complete the assessment and will forward reports to RTDS within 5 business days.
RTDS will forward assessment results to Company/Employer within 1 business day of receipt.
Employee is released for a return-to-duty test with or without recommendations.
Employee to complete recommendations prior to returning to work. Employer can choose to enroll employee in a monitoring program at this time.
what are benefits of using cannamm’s “return to duty” process?
Confidential information is securely stored electronically in one location.
For “comprehensive assessments” there are two SAPs involved to ensure and maintain the integrity and standards of your specific policy: the SAP who completes the assessment and your corporate SAP through CannAmm OTS. This process ensures that both the employer and the employee are represented.
why use cannamm rather than an eap provider for your return-to-duty program?
The employee agrees to and authorizes CannAmm and the SAP to release to the employer/Union representative the recommendations resulting from the assessment at the onset of the program. He/she stipulates that the release of this information is a condition of employment.
CannAmm OTS ensures that all SAPs have extensive clinical experience in the assessment of substance use disorders. They must also have knowledge of appropriate services required to assist the employee in resolving their problems in a beneficial fashion. CannAmm’s process ensures the confidentiality of the transmission of information on a need to know basis.
CannAmm can oversee the entire process, from testing or admission of a substance use problem, to completion of all recommendations. We also keep the employer updated every step of the way in an effort to ensure you meet your due diligence requirements.
