Hastings is best known outside Nebraska for its role as a World War II naval ammunition depot - a legacy that evolved into an ongoing defense and explosives manufacturing presence in Adams County. Current defense-related manufacturing and industrial chemical employers maintain federal contractor drug-free workplace programs that exceed typical non-DOT employer requirements. US-6 and US-34 route motor carriers, grain haulers, and agricultural freight east to Lincoln and west toward Kearney and the I-80 corridor, generating FMCSA fleet testing demand through Adams County. Food processing and agriculture services employers are significant in the region, and Mary Lanning Healthcare anchors hospital and clinical employer demand for south-central Nebraska. OnSite Employer Testing dispatches mobile collectors to Hastings defense manufacturing plants, fleet yards, food processing facilities, and employer sites throughout Adams County.

Questions from employers in this region
We manufacture industrial explosives and defense products in Hastings under federal contracts - what testing program is required?
Federal contracts above $100,000 require a written drug-free workplace policy under the Drug-Free Workplace Act. For facilities handling explosive and energetic materials, internal safety management systems and ATF licensing conditions typically impose testing requirements more stringent than the Act's minimum. Most defense explosives manufacturers implement full testing programs with zero tolerance for all covered positions. Consult your contracting officer, safety officer, and legal counsel on specific requirements. We perform on-site collections at your Hastings facility for any program your contract requires.
We haul agricultural chemicals and fertilizer on US-34 from Hastings - what HAZMAT testing applies to our drivers?
CDL drivers with HAZMAT endorsements operating qualifying CMVs are subject to FMCSA 49 CFR Part 382, and HAZMAT endorsement holders are included in random testing pools under 49 CFR Part 382.305. We dispatch to your Adams County terminal or facility for those collections.
Nebraska has no cannabis law - how does that affect our defense manufacturing workplace policy?
Nebraska's zero-tolerance cannabis legal environment means no state-law cannabis card defense exists for your employees. A positive THC result under your written policy can be acted upon consistently without state cannabis law complications. For federal contractors in defense manufacturing, there is an additional layer of federal obligation beyond your company policy that makes THC-positive results particularly consequential. Policy enforcement decisions are the employer's responsibility.
