Specimen Collections

ABOUT THE SPECIMEN COLLECTION PROCESS

This section identifies the standard manual for collectors and provides additional "tips" you won't find in the standard collection manual. Collection site and shy bladder issues are discussed. Management of COLLECTOR ERRORS using affidavits is discussed in detail. MRO's and Employers should be familiar with this section.
