Positive Drug Test
If there is a case where a line does not appear next to a substance, inform applicant of the findings and give them an opportunity to admit to use or to deny and submit the sample to a lab for further analysis. If they admit guilt you may make note of it on application and part ways at this time. If they want to submit for further analysis there is a chain of custody that must be followed. All steps should be completed in front of applicant so that the specimen never leaves the sight of either party.
