Background and Discussion:
Harris County is committed to providing a safe, productive, and secure workplace and has adopted policies for
a drug-free and alcohol-free workplace to meet that goal. This renewal to UNIF Health as the primary
vendor is to continue to provide employee drug and alcohol screenings according to Harris County’s policies. DISA Inc. is the secondary testing vendor.
Expected Impact:
Employees need to report to work in an appropriate mental and physical condition to perform their job safely
and effectively. Alcohol and drug utilization may pose a threat to the health and safety of our employees and
to the security of County equipment and facilities. This renewal will continue to provide employee drug and alcohol screening services in order to comply with Harris County’s policy of a drug-free and alcohol-free workplace.
