1
What drugs are typically tested for?

Some employers may also use breath alcohol testing to detect alcohol impairment in the workplace.

What drugs are typically tested for?
Most workplace drug testing programs screen for a standard 5-panel drug test, which includes:

• Amphetamines
• Phencyclidine (PCP)
Some employers may require expanded panels that test for additional substances depending on company policies.
