DOT-COMPLIANT · ON-SITE EMPLOYER DRUG TESTING
Paducah, Kentucky Mobile Drug & Alcohol Testing
DOE Uranium Enrichment · Ohio & Tennessee River Barge · USEC/Centrus · CDL Freight — Federal-grade mobile collections at your site.
Paducah sits at the confluence of the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers — a strategic location that made it home to the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant, a DOE uranium enrichment facility now undergoing decontamination and decommissioning by contractor teams subject to DOE Order 442.1A. The region's extensive barge and river transport industry on both rivers requires USCG-coordinated marine testing. CDL fleets serving Western Kentucky's agricultural and industrial base operate under FMCSA. OnSite Employer Testing provides mobile collections for all sectors — from DOE contractor workforce to river port employees — covering McCracken County and the broader Jackson Purchase region.
OnSite Employer Testing coordinates mobile drug testing collections at your Paducah-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.
