Who is primarily responsible for ensuring that the urinalysis procedure is conducted correctly?

The primary responsibility for ensuring that the urinalysis procedure is conducted correctly lies with the Unit Prevention Leader (UPL). The UPL is specifically trained and designated to oversee the entire urinalysis process, which includes proper collection, documentation, and security of the samples. They ensure compliance with regulatory procedures and provide guidance to other personnel involved in the process, such as observers and donors.

While the observer, commander, and donor have their respective roles in the urinalysis process, it is the UPL who holds the overarching responsibility for the integrity of the testing procedure. They coordinate the urinalysis program within the unit, maintain knowledge of relevant policies and regulations, and address any issues that arise during the process to maintain the effectiveness and accuracy of substance abuse prevention efforts within the military.
