application, and that signature must be
notarized.

Laboratory Personnel Certification application,
which you may download here in

Instructions: Three Easy Steps to Conduct Drug
Testing
1. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions. This includes
monitoring and recording the temperature where
the kits are stored.

person who performs the test, and write it down
prior to testing people.
3. Conduct an accuracy check on each test by
writing down the control results. Built in
controls are acceptable. |
