    The ServiceNow Health and Safety Testing application streamlines the employee health testing process to identify affected employees and help reduce the spread of infectious diseases in the workplace. The Health and Safety Testing application provides employers, where they are legally required or permitted to do so, with two options: request employees get tested, or allow employees to request optional health testing upon being notified of potential exposure to an infectious disease, such as COVID-19.

    Employees can submit health testing preferences, like test type and preferred testing date and location. Administrators can use the employees’ request forms to coordinate testing availability and scheduling. After health testing is complete, employees can use Health and Safety Testing to indicate a test result to satisfy the employer’s health and safety requirement, clearing the employee for a safe return to the workplace.
