| Stay Up To Date: Visit DATIA's Resources Section for Monthly Updates of SAMHSA's Certified Lab List |
|
All Laboratories engaging in urine drug testing for Federal agencies, must be certified by The Department of Health and Human Services's Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Because of this, it is important that you stay abreast of the SAMSHA certified lab list, which is announced on a monthly basis.
DATIA keeps this list updated in the Resources section of the DATIA website. DATIA also posts any labs that have been suspended from the list. Take a look at December's updated listing.

| Question & Answer From DATIA's Forum: |
|
DATIA staff is often asked if a collector who begins a Shy bladder collection can have a different collector complete the process?
The Department of Transportation (DOT) addressed this question in their September 2001 Questions and Answers. Below is the exact wording from the DOT.
Question: Generally, only one collector is supposed to supervise a collection for an employee. However, given the time span involved, is it possible that two collectors could be involved in a shy bladder collection (e.g., because of a shift change during the three-hour period between the first and second collection attempts). How should this be handled?
Answer: In this situation, it is permissible for one collector to turn the process over to another collector to complete the collection.
The first collector would document the start time for the 3-hour period. The second would provide his or her name and signature after the second collection, as the collector of record. The Remarks line (Step 2 of the CCF) would be used to document the transition (including the first collector’s name and the start time for the shy bladder procedure).
