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.
All businesses can benefit from drug and alcohol testing solutions but screening protocols are especially beneficial in industries where safety, compliance, and public trust are critical. Here are the sectors that most commonly test:
- Construction & Engineering
- Transportation & Logistics
- Healthcare & Social Care
- Manufacturing & Warehousing
- Utilities & Energy
- Education & Childcare
- Public Sector & Emergency Services
- Finance & Corporate Services
