I need to ask a quick question and trust me I searched for hours for the answer.

Are you entitled to know what your employer is testing for in the pre-employment drug test?

If so, how do you find out? DO you ask the lab I sure as hell don't want to ask the employer that makes me look suspicious.

Finally, if an employer did test for steroids wouldn't they have to test for each one individually which would cost a fortune?

Thanks!

Yes, you are entitled to know what they are testing for, just ask the lab you take the test at. Asking at work will make you look bad, you know.

As for testing steroids, highly doubtful they test. No they do not initially test for each individual drug. They do a "combined fractions" test for a variety of compounds. If that results in a positive then a second selective quantatative test is performed by another chemist for the specific compound. Some drugs like stanozolol and THG are difficult to find and they have there own specific test.
