Drugs & Alcohol Testing

Drugs and alcohol testing are usually required under the following circumstances:

• Pre-employment screening – You may wish to conduct alcohol and drug screening as part of your pre-employment screening process to ensure your new employee produces a non-negative result before allowing them to begin work
• Random and unannounced testing – Random and unannounced testing of workers to ensure safety is maintained. Usually a percentage of the relevant workforce is randomly assigned to testing on an annual basis and this is undertaken without notice
• Point of Care testing – Provides an instant result to drugs and alcohol screening. Initial samples can be used for lab analysis to provide further confirmation of results if required
• ‘For Cause’ testing – undertaken when there is high suspicion that an employee at work is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. A test can be undertaken within two hours of receipt of the request. Alcohol breathalyser tests and urine analysis are used for this purpose

All our tests are conducted by qualified, experienced professionals
