Nowhere is immune from meth contamination. Meth cooks are becoming more and more imaginative about where they set up their labs.

It is not only the risk of a becoming a lab that could potentially destroy your vehicle, but the risk of contamination from meth users you may be hiring to.
A pre-hire test and subsequent test on return gives hire companies and owners peace of mind that such illegal activities have not being carried out at their expense.
The smoking or manufacturing of methamphetamine results in airborne deposits on wall surfaces, carpets, counters and furniture. Solid forms of methamphetamine can be spilled and worked into carpets and upholstery.
Even small amounts of contamination are known to have adverse effects on anyone coming in contact with the chemicals present in methamphetamine.
Remember, meth users cover all walks of life from rich to poor.
