CannAmm Occupational Testing Services

Fitness for duty is the idea behind everything CannAmm sells: employers need to know their people can do a job safely, and the company supplies the testing, assessments and training to show it. It describes itself as having worked in Canadian occupational testing for about thirty years, and it also runs programs under United States Department of Transportation rules for firms that cross the border.

Drug and alcohol testing

The testing range is wide. Urine, oral fluid and breath alcohol tests are available, together with random testing programs, collections carried out by mobile teams and urgent testing outside office hours. Independent tests can be requested by individuals, and the company reviews and helps write drug and alcohol policies, which it calls the starting point of a fit-for-duty program. It says its collection network passes 3,500 locations across Canada, and that a support team stays on call every day of the year.

Occupational health

A second branch covers medical fitness testing, workplace hearing tests, respiratory testing, functional fitness evaluations and physical demands analysis. The company says it offers more than 250 occupational health services that can be tailored to an industry, with the aim of identifying health conditions that could create risk for a worker or employer.

Return to duty

When an employee has failed a test, the company provides assessments by substance abuse professionals and case management as part of the return-to-duty process.

Training and regulation

Courses cover drug and alcohol awareness for supervisors and employees, cannabis workplace safety and training in how to carry out testing, delivered online at the learner's own pace. It describes this training as award-winning. Resources on its site explain the Canadian model for testing and the US transport rules.

Equipment and the collection network

CannAmm sells breath alcohol devices, including evidential breath testers and screening devices, along with supplies for collection sites. Independent collection sites can also apply to join its network.
