Workplace Drug Testing

You simply cannot tell who is taking illegal drugs or abusing legal ones by looking at them.

If you have a staff member who is acting under the influence of drugs (legal or illegal) you could be liable if something happens.

We work with companies in many ways to help them tackle the ever-present risks posed by drug misuse. Principally we work with you to ensure your contracts of employment allow you to take action to remove drug affected people from your workforce and offer testing and support should this be needed.

Common drugs we can test for include

• Methamphetamine (also known as P, Meth or Ice)
  
• Cannabis (also known as weed, dope or skunk)
  
• Cocaine
  
• Crack

Before you can act on any suspicions, you need to ensure that you are covered correctly in the contracts of employment you have with your staff. Written incorrectly and these documents could cause you additional cost and grief. We can work with you to review and implement legal contracts of employment that will allow you to effectively manage the situation.

We have a purpose built testing vehicle that can be used on your sites or workplaces to ensure that tests are carried out in a clean, dignified and legal way. We can either conduct random drug tests or test your whole workforce. We recommend every company adopt a pre-employment drug screening test as standard practice in their recruitment procedure. We can help you with this and many other aspects of pre-employment.

If you would like to know more about these and our other services in the area of drug detection and screening, please do not hesitate to call us.
