“The 6-Step Process To Determine Workers’ Comp Injury Causation”
Williams informed council members that his company provides drug testing services to around 1,500 entities, using several forms of testing methods including hair samples, mouth swabs and urine samples.

The city presently has nine employees with commercial driving licenses who are subject to random quarterly drug tests. When it comes to the pricing of tests, Williams said that “all will be cost effective” and noted Covington officials might want to consider drug testing as part of a group consortium for $69 per year. One or two city employees with a CDL are randomly chosen every quarter for drug testing at a cost to the city of $60 per employee. Guess with only 9 employees with a CDL, one’s chances are pretty good of getting in the testing pool at least once/year.
