This contractor won the work, then hit the condition that trips up so many: the general contractor required a documented drug and alcohol testing program before anyone could mobilize on the site. PSI built the program in one piece: a written policy for the company, a DOT pool for the CDL drivers and a non-DOT policy pool for the trades, pre-employment screening geared to the hiring ramp, and on-site collections at the job trailer so the crew stayed on site. PSI also produced the documentation the general contractor's safety office required, and the contractor quickly mobilized.

How the engagement runs

  • A written policy built for the company
  • A DOT pool for CDL drivers and a non-DOT pool for the trades
  • Pre-employment screening geared to the project's hiring ramp
  • On-site collections at the job trailer, so the crew stayed on site
  • The documentation the general contractor required

About this example
