Do you have a list of certified labs for testing outside the US? We are currently placing offers to applicants to work at the South Pole. The closest drug testing lab is in New Zealand. That lab requires as part of doing business that we (the customer) waive their liability. Our company's standard is to do drug screens within 72 hours of employment offer. Is that timeframe possible for applicants being tested in New Zealand? If not, what do you suggest?
