Avitar's Oral Testing Technology a Hit in Construction Industry BusinessWire - March 12, 2008 8:00 AM ET
Avitar Inc. ("AVTI") (OTCBB:AVTI), manufacturers of nationally branded oral fluid testing diagnostic devices and customized polyurethane applications used in wound dressings, announced today that the Company's ORALscreen rapid test for drugs-of-abuse are being piloted and moving towards nationwide deployment at two of the largest construction firms in the United States.
Peter Phildius, Avitar's Chairman and CEO said, "The construction industry represents a significant business opportunity for Avitar, a revenue potential of $1M over the next year. Industry leaders are now moving to incorporate Avitar's on-site oral fluid technology for random drug testing, as well as pre-employment, post-accident, and reasonable suspicion applications, previously done with traditional urine testing. We have also expanded our client list of small to medium-sized contractors and continue to develop a solid understanding of the needs of the construction sector, where we believe our integrated drug-free workplace solutions offer true value."
Avitar has been focusing on meeting construction safety requirements for the past two years, and also continues to make progress educating and gaining approvals from multiple union locals, including Carpenters, Ironworkers, Steelworkers, IBEW, as well as the Longshoremen's Union where Avitar products are being used at several seaports. Additionally, State Governments are recognizing the value of oral fluid to the construction sector. For example, the States of Hawaii and Georgia recently passed legislation providing Worker's Compensation premium discounts for the use of on-site oral fluid devices. In Hawaii, the Carpenters Union spearheaded the change.

Not at all. Made money on this before I first posted. Just came on and noticed it hadn't been posted about so thought I'd share a little taste. Got in again and cashed out.
