El Paso Refinery

MPC El Paso Refinery requires all contract employees to be enrolled, and they must participate in, an approved drug and alcohol testing program (DISA). The contract employee must have an "active/green" status in order to be issued a refinery access badge. Any "inactive/red" status results must be managed directly with DISA and not MPC personnel. Drug screen costs are the responsibility of the contractor and not MPC.

Turnaround time for testing method results are as follows:

• Urine: minimum 2-3 days
• Hair follicle: minimum 2-3 days

Graded background checks are required for everyone requesting a MPC entry badge. DISA Global Solutions is the preferred risk management screening provider for the El Paso Refinery.  The graded score must be a 2 or below. Marathon Petroleum also accepts risk management examinations (background checks) from the following list of vendors: 

*Please be aware that it is up to your organization to follow-up with the Background Check Vendor to confirm results. (Background checks are good for 2 years from their order date)

Prior to arrival, contractors must have satisfied Marathon Petroleum screening requirements. These will be conducted by the background check vendor (DISA). Below is a list of the screening items;

• DCCHA-breath, alcohol and urine screen
