EBI's own background screening library.

With the resources EBI has at its disposal for background screening, drug testing, and human resources management, we felt it was time to offer a consolidated location for accessing many of our best public research materials, hence EBI's background screening online library was born.

Current topic: Driving Record Checks: What you need to know before hiring drivers. In the past, alcohol and drug testing for employee drivers was important to prevent accidents on the road. Before background screening became easier to come by and more thorough, it wasn't unusual to hear of drivers with substance abuse problems, with criminal histories, or even driving without a drivers license. And today, less professional background check companies can still let these people slip through the cracks and behind the wheel. Of course, aside from drug testing, EBI has always implemented driving record checks and criminal background checks, since many drunk driving convictions aren't listed as criminal offenses. But in today's post-911 world of heightened security, background screening for drivers is even more important. With everyone watching airport security, places like ports haven't had enough attention. Recently, faulty background screening led to a situation in New York where nearly half the drivers at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey whose backgrounds were checked had possible criminal histories. And in Virginia, though sophisticated technology has been installed to watch drivers moving through their ports, they still don't include background screening as a standard hiring practice for their drivers. These kinds of security dangers are the new issues that exist alongside the drunk driving and substance abuse problems of the past. This is why EBI is the leader of its industry – we screen drivers thoroughly, including pre-employment drug testing, post-accident drug testing, and random drug testing. We search driving records, and conduct a criminal history background check on each potential driver. At EBI we've always prided ourselves on our dedication to protecting the client and safeguarding the workplace; and these are issues that have only grown more important in recent years.
