Forensic Toxicology Laboratories

Forensic toxicology laboratories are specialized laboratories licensed by the State of Florida for the purpose of performing drug testing for employers within the state. These laboratories may be certified through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), a division within the Department of Health and Human Services of the Federal Government.

All employers within the State that wish to participate in the "Drug-Free Workplace Program", sponsored through the Department of Worker's Compensation, must contract with a licensed forensic toxicology Laboratory to implement their program.
