Substance Abuse Programs
Drug and alcohol testing is a critical aspect of any safety program. Maritime employers often need to have testing programs in place to meet regulatory obligations, charter party agreements or corporate polices.
Anderson-Kelly has screened tens of thousand of mariners for substance abuse on thousands of vessels worldwide. Here are the methods and organizations we use to help keep your operation clean and safe:
