DRUG SCREENING IN THE WORKPLACE
Employees who engage in illicit drug use not only put themselves at risk in the workplace, but they may also put the general public at risk. It is a legal requirement for safety-critical employees (SCEs) to have a random drug test every year.

We specialise in profiling the company workforce and creating a drug screening protocol for that organisation. We manage the random drug screening process and can offer support for those who test positive if required. The tests are also legally robust should the results be required for performance management and legal reasons. The drug screening profile covers:
