Stay Audit Ready Year Round

Random Screening Management

Manage random screening programs with automated selection cycles,
documented compliance, and centralized oversight that supports DOT,
pipeline safety, and workplace drug testing requirements.

Manage Random Screening
WHY IT'S BETTER

Proactive Compliance Without the Chaos

Random programs must remain unbiased, documented, and consistently executed to meet regulatory requirements, yet manual selection and tracking create compliance gaps and administrative burden.

Program Oversight

Maintain consistent random selection integrity across required populations completely with automated algorithms generating unbiased selections that meet frequency requirements.

Reduced Administrative Burden

Automate recurring tasks tied to random selection including employee notification, collection scheduling, completion tracking, and documentation retention that manual programs require.

Fair and Unbiased Selection

Maintain random selection integrity across all locations and employee populations using documented algorithms that eliminate bias and demonstrate procedural fairness.

Scalable Program Management

Scale random screening programs as employee populations grow while maintaining identical selection algorithms, documentation standards, and audit readiness across all locations.

Compliance Ready Design

Program workflows align to federal and industry screening requirements with documented steps and retention. Maintain inspection ready records across cycles.

HOW IT WORKS
A Structured Random Screening Workflow

Manage random screening from setup through documentation in four steps:

Define Screening Program

Establish program rules, covered populations, selection rates, testing frequency, and notification procedures aligned to DOT, pipeline safety, or workplace policy requirements.

Generate Random Selections

Create unbiased random selections at required frequencies using documented algorithms that select employees fairly across all eligible populations.

Track Screening Completion

Monitor completion and follow ups across all selected employees with automated tracking ensuring timely testing and documentation without manual spreadsheet updates.

Maintain Documentation

Retain program documentation and cycle records in organized audit ready files that demonstrate continuous compliance with selection integrity and procedural fairness.

Consistent Screening Oversight with Compliance for Good™

Structured and consistent random screening programs maintain regulatory compliance through automated selection, documented procedures, and centralized oversight.

Regulated Safety Roles

Regulated safety role management ensures random screening covers every position requiring testing under DOT, Pipeline Safety, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and industry-specific regulations. Incomplete population coverage creates violations when audits reveal employees who should have been in random pools but weren’t included. GCheck’s role-based population management ensures every covered employee is included in random selection, protecting your program from the coverage gaps that create audit findings and corrective actions.

Audit Preparation

Audit preparation maintains complete documentation continuously so inspections and compliance reviews can be addressed immediately without reconstruction. Last-minute audit preparation reveals missing documentation, incomplete cycles, and undocumented selections that transform into violations. GCheck’s continuous documentation ensures your random program is inspection-ready at all times, eliminating the scrambling that occurs when audits demand records that don’t exist or can’t be found.

Policy Enforcement

Policy enforcement applies random screening requirements consistently across all locations using documented rules that prevent the subjective application that creates discrimination claims. Inconsistent policy application produces disparate treatment when similar situations receive different responses based on who’s managing the program. GCheck’s automated policy enforcement ensures random screening rules are applied identically everywhere, demonstrating the consistent treatment that protects against discrimination allegations when employees question selection or consequences.

Scalable Program Management

Scalable program management ensures random screening maintains quality and consistency as your organization grows across locations, shifts, and testing types. Manual random programs break down at scale, creating coverage gaps and documentation inconsistencies when complexity exceeds manual management capacity. GCheck’s automated platform handles enterprise-scale random screening with thousands of employees across dozens of locations while maintaining the same selection integrity and documentation quality that small programs provide.

Trust & Compliance

Built for Screening Compliance

Documented selection cycles, retention controls, and centralized oversight support defensible random screening programs. Audit readiness is maintained continuously.

COMMON CONCERNS ANSWERED Random Screening FAQs

Is random screening compliant?

Yes, random screening is compliant when selection uses unbiased algorithms, covers required populations completely, meets frequency requirements, and maintains complete documentation. Compliant random programs require specific selection rates, testing within designated windows, and retention of all selection records. GCheck’s random screening follows federal and industry requirements including DOT Part 40, Pipeline Safety, and Nuclear Regulatory Commission standards, ensuring your program meets the regulatory requirements that audits examine and that protect your organization from violations.

Does this reduce administrative work?

Yes, automation eliminates the manual selection generation, completion tracking, notification sending, and documentation compilation that consumes hours per random cycle. Manual random programs force compliance staff to spend days each cycle managing selections, chasing non-compliant employees, and building audit files. GCheck’s automation reduces random program administration from days to minutes per cycle, freeing compliance teams from repetitive work while maintaining the documentation quality that audits require.

Can programs scale as headcount grows?

Yes, random programs scale from dozens to thousands of employees while maintaining identical selection algorithms, documentation standards, and audit readiness. Growing organizations struggle when random programs can’t accommodate expansion, creating coverage gaps and quality degradation. GCheck’s platform handles enterprise-scale random screening across multiple locations, testing types, and regulatory requirements while maintaining the selection integrity and documentation quality that audits demand regardless of program size or complexity.

Are records audit ready at all times?

Yes, documentation is maintained continuously with complete selection records, testing outcomes, and program parameters retained in organized files accessible instantly during inspections. Last-minute audit preparation reveals missing documentation that creates violations and corrective actions. GCheck’s continuous documentation ensures complete audit files exist at all times, enabling immediate inspection response without the scrambling that occurs when audits demand records that must be reconstructed or that don’t exist at all.

Who typically manages random screening?

Compliance managers, HR teams, and safety directors typically manage random screening with involvement from medical review officers and collection site coordinators. Multi-party involvement creates coordination challenges and documentation gaps when responsibilities overlap or fall through cracks. GCheck’s centralized platform provides all stakeholders with role-appropriate access and automated workflows, eliminating coordination problems while ensuring consistent program execution across all parties involved in random screening operations.

Can this support ongoing compliance programs?

Yes, ongoing program management supports continuous compliance through automated cycles, complete documentation retention, and real-time visibility that prevents the reactive firefighting that manual programs create. Sustainable compliance requires systems that maintain quality without constant manual intervention. GCheck’s automated platform ensures random screening operates consistently year after year, maintaining audit readiness without the staff burnout and quality degradation that unsustainable manual processes inevitably produce.
