Methods of testing

The introduction of routine workplace drug testing and initial background screen can aid in providing a safer working environment. We supply urine and saliva (oral) drug screening tests, which can be used to identify employees who have recently abused drugs or alcohol.

We recommend purchasing at least one of our lab urine or saliva test kits, so that a legally accredited confirmation can be obtained after getting a positive test result on the ALLTEST screening tests. The screening tests are not enough to proceed with legal action on their own.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should workplace drug testing be done?

Once a year is the minimum we would recommend.

However a higher frequency is recommended for certain safety critical industries where employee responsibility is increased and the risk to other employees and the public is higher, such as HGV operators, construction etc .

It is important that the test date is random so employees can not attempt to bypass the drug test.

Which employees should I drug test?

To ensure employee privacy and morale are upheld, drug testing should be limited to only employees that need to be drug tested, due to their specific role.

There should be a valid concern for safety, where an employee being impaired could lead to unsafe conditions.

It is also important not to single out a particular employee for testing unless this is justified by the nature of their job.

Employees can not be forced to take a drug test but if they refuse when the employer has good grounds for testing, they can face disciplinary action if their contract states that they must undergo drug testing.
