Many thanks to everyone's help on this, Believe it or not the company I am contracted to finally found theirs. It was filed under the title 'Collate Business Requirements'. Now why didn't we think to look there, oh yes, they are still fighting about giving us access to the network as we are remote workers. Hey ho, at least we can appease the client now.

These guidelines can be found on the LTG website, the link is: http://www.ltg.uk.net/pages/monographs/guidelines.asp then scroll down for the guidelines, I think it's the fifth document down. The protocol is in appendix 1. Alternatively, I have attached a cut/paste. Let me know if I can help further Regards Helen | Helen Vangikar | Toxicology Consultant | m. +44 (0)7856 979961 | e.

It was not acceptable for him/her to bring one in as it could belong to anyone!!! We ensured the toilet was "out of bounds" to other users and we put food colouring in the cistern and toilet bowl for obvious reasons! The wash basin was outside the toilet cubicle and a member of staff escorted the client to the toilet and waited for the client by the washbasin. This ensured that there could be no "fiddling" going on. The client was asked to remove any jacket (in case a urine pot with a friend's urine inside was hidden in a pocket!) and there was always an expectation that the urine specimen would feel warm as it was fresh.... Frank, would you be able to write a procedure based on this information? Good luck!

People walking in with a full urine pot is not acceptable and I need to push this real hard hence I need a robust set of procedures before I get kicked off site by the client.
