Our in-house MRO service allows us to provide a review of the result and feedback about whether it is verified negative or positive.Assessments can be conducted at our clinics or on-site, using either point-of-care or lab-based testing methods for pre-placement, random, or for-cause purposes. To proceed, please have proof of ID and be prepared to confirm any recent alcohol or drug intake, including medication. After the assessment, a doctor-approved Medical Review Officer certificate will be issued with a verified outcome. It is important to note that these results are for compliance with your company’s policy and should not be used for separate fitness-for-work purposes. If you require further occupational health advice on medical conditions or medication, please contact us for a separate consultation.
