FORENSIC TOXICOLOGY LABORATORY GUIDELINES

SOFT / AAFS FORENSIC LABORATORY GUIDELINES 2006 1. SOFT / AAFS. FORENSIC TOXICOLOGY . LABORATORY GUIDELINES . 2006 VERSION. 1. INTRODUCTION. The FORENSIC TOXICOLOGY LABORATORY GUIDELINES were originally published in 1991 as two main documents ( GUIDELINES plus Appendix), plus the self-evaluation checklist. The primary document, the GUIDELINES , was initially drafted in response to the growth and regulation of FORENSIC urine drug testing. It was an attempt to take the important issues that were addressed for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs and draft them into terms which could be more realistically applied to the areas of Post-Mortem FORENSIC TOXICOLOGY and Human-Performance FORENSIC TOXICOLOGY . However, the GUIDELINES Committee agreed that there were many additional issues which were important to cover, but which might better belong in a supplementary document - the Appendix to the GUIDELINES . Since 1991, the profession has matured in many ways.

SOFT / AAFS Forensic Laboratory Guidelines – 2006 4. 4.1.9 Since forensic toxicology laboratories handle controlled substances and generate results essential to the criminal justice system, the director, to the extent practical or permitted by law, should exert reasonable efforts to ensure that all personnel meet high ethical and moral standards.
