Pascagoula sits in Jackson County on Mississippi Sound, anchored by Huntington Ingalls Industries' Ingalls Shipbuilding division - the sole builder of U.S. Navy amphibious assault ships and a major constructor of Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and Coast Guard cutters. Ingalls Shipbuilding employs roughly 11,000 workers directly and supports thousands more through a contractor and supplier ecosystem spanning ship fitting, pipe welding, electrical, and marine engineering trades. These workers - both Ingalls direct employees and contractor personnel - work on federal defense contracts subject to the Drug-Free Workplace Act and in some cases on USCG-certificated vessels under construction where marine vessel drug testing obligations may apply. Chevron's Pascagoula refinery - one of the largest on the Gulf Coast - adds a second major employer with significant PHMSA pipeline and refinery contractor testing demand. US-90 and I-10 route freight and contractor traffic throughout Jackson County. Singing River Health System anchors healthcare employer demand. OnSite Employer Testing dispatches mobile collectors to Pascagoula shipyard contractor staging areas, refinery facilities, fleet yards, and employer sites throughout Jackson County.

Questions from employers in this region
We are a shipyard contractor at Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula - what drug testing program is required for our workers?
Ingalls Shipbuilding holds federal defense contracts subject to the Drug-Free Workplace Act, which requires written drug-free workplace policies for qualifying contracts above $100,000. Ingalls' contractor qualification program typically requires contractors to maintain drug testing programs as a condition of yard access, often more stringent than the Act's minimums. Consult your Ingalls contractor administrator and your contracting officer for specific program requirements. We perform on-site collections at your Pascagoula facility or staging area for any program your contract requires.
We do pipe welding and marine engineering work at the Pascagoula shipyard - does USCG drug testing apply to our trades workers?
USCG drug testing under 46 CFR Part 16 applies to crewmembers performing covered functions on certificated commercial vessels - not typically shore-based shipyard trades workers building vessels under construction. Your primary testing obligation as a shipyard contractor is through the Drug-Free Workplace Act and the Ingalls contractor qualification program. Once a vessel is commissioned and crewed, USCG testing applies to its operational crew. Consult your maritime legal counsel on specific coverage for your work scope.
We are a Chevron refinery contractor in Pascagoula - what testing does the facility require?
Chevron's Pascagoula Refinery requires contractors to maintain drug testing programs consistent with OSHA PSM contractor safety requirements and Chevron's own contractor management program standards. These requirements typically exceed the Drug-Free Workplace Act minimums. Consult your Chevron contractor administrator on specific program requirements. We perform on-site collections at your Jackson County facility for any program your contract requires.
