Baton Rouge, LA Mobile Drug & Alcohol Testing
ExxonMobil · Shell · Dow · PHMSA Petrochemical Corridor · BNSF FRA · BTR Airport FAA — America's Heaviest PHMSA Testing Market.
Baton Rouge hosts the highest concentration of PHMSA-regulated pipeline, refinery, and petrochemical workers of any city in the United States. ExxonMobil's Baton Rouge Refinery is one of the largest refineries in the country. Shell Chemical, Dow Chemical, BASF, Huntsman, and dozens of other major operators line the Mississippi River industrial corridor from Baton Rouge to New Orleans — the stretch known as the 'Chemical Corridor.' Every operator runs pipeline infrastructure subject to PHMSA 49 CFR Part 199. BNSF operates a major classification yard serving the corridor. Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR) handles commercial and charter aviation. I-10 carries some of the nation's heaviest petrochemical CDL traffic. OnSite Employer Testing dispatches throughout East Baton Rouge, Ascension, and Iberville parishes — to refinery gates, pipeline control rooms, and rail facilities.
OnSite Employer Testing coordinates mobile drug testing collections at your Baton Rouge-area facility, yard, terminal, or job site. We do not operate a clinic. Review how it works or browse all locations we serve across the region.

Questions from employers in this region
Can you handle large contractor turnaround workforces at the ExxonMobil or Shell refineries?
Yes. Refinery turnaround and plant shutdown contractor mobilizations — sometimes involving hundreds of new workers onboarded in days — are exactly the high-volume scenario mobile collection is built for. We dispatch multiple collectors simultaneously to match your hiring pace.
Do you cover the full Chemical Corridor from Baton Rouge to Geismar and Plaquemine?
Yes. We serve Ascension Parish (Geismar, Gonzales), Iberville Parish (Plaquemine, White Castle), and the full upriver/downriver Chemical Corridor from our Baton Rouge base.
Does Louisiana's new cannabis law change PHMSA testing for refinery workers?
No. PHMSA 49 CFR Part 199 is a federal regulation — Louisiana state law has no effect on pipeline and refinery operator drug testing requirements.
