Frequently Asked Questions

Workplace drug testing and workplace alcohol testing provides employers with a reliable method to identify substance misuse among employees and job applicants. Substance tests detect the presence of controlled substances/illicit drugs or alcohol that may impair judgement, compromise behaviour, and reduce workplace performance.

By implementing a robust testing programme, organisations can proactively manage safety risks, protect staff and the public, and uphold operational standards and reputation.

  1. Construction & Engineering
  2. Transportation & Logistics
  3. Healthcare & Social Care
  4. Manufacturing & Warehousing
  5. Utilities & Energy
  6. Education & Childcare
  7. Public Sector & Emergency Services
