Parkersburg Chemical and Pipeline Employers Get Testing at the Worksite

Parkersburg and Wood County are home to Chemours Washington Works — the former DuPont facility that has operated on the Ohio River since the 1950s producing PTFE and fluoropolymers and is one of the most significant industrial facilities in the state. Chemical manufacturing and pipeline operations in Wood County create overlapping PHMSA 49 CFR Part 199 and OSHA PSM testing obligations for covered plant and pipeline personnel. The I-77 Ohio River crossing is a primary north-south commercial trucking corridor between Ohio and West Virginia, with FMCSA CDL testing demand for motor carriers. The Ohio River itself supports barge transportation with U.S. Coast Guard 46 CFR Part 16 testing obligations for vessel crew members. Camden Clark Medical Center is a major healthcare employer. We send collectors directly to your Wood County plant, pipeline facility, or terminal — or your employees use any of our 8,500+ nationwide locations.

Chemours PHMSA Testing and Wood County Employer Rights

Parkersburg's industrial base creates one of West Virginia's most layered compliance environments: PHMSA for pipeline operators, OSHA PSM for covered chemical process facilities, USCG for Ohio River marine operations, and FMCSA for CDL drivers on I-77. WV Code Section 16A-15-4 preserves full employer rights to test for cannabis and enforce zero-tolerance policies. For all federally regulated positions in Wood County, federal preemption applies and cannabis testing is mandatory regardless of WV's medical cannabis program.

Frequently Asked Questions

We are a contractor at Chemours Washington Works. What drug testing obligations does our contract create?

Contractor personnel performing operations, maintenance, or construction work at a PHMSA-jurisdictional facility or on OSHA PSM-covered processes are subject to the applicable federal testing requirements. Your scope of work and the site's PSM program determine covered positions. We collect on-site at your Wood County contractor staging area and provide documentation aligned with Chemours' contractor compliance requirements.

Our company operates Ohio River barges out of the Parkersburg area. What USCG testing applies?

Vessel crew members on vessels subject to USCG inspection are covered under 46 CFR Part 16 for chemical testing. This includes pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable suspicion, and return-to-duty testing. We coordinate USCG-compliant collections for marine employers at Wood County river facilities.

Can we test Parkersburg employees for cannabis under West Virginia's medical cannabis law?

Yes. WV Code Section 16A-15-4 explicitly preserves employer authority. A written zero-tolerance policy covering cannabis is fully enforceable and positive THC results are actionable for any position. Chemical plant operators, pipeline workers, and CDL drivers face federal preemption on top of state employer rights — for those positions, testing is mandatory and adverse action on a positive is required.
