When conducting pre-employment drug screening, ensuring confidentiality is critical. This involves safeguarding the privacy of candidates’ test results, limiting access to sensitive information, and complying with legal standards such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Maintaining confidentiality protects the organization’s reputation and fosters trust among employees and applicants.
