Occupational Drug and Alcohol Testing - Flyingmedicine Ltd

Drug and Alcohol use and misuse at work have significant safety threats to a company's employees, customers and reputation. They are notoriously difficult to manage once it becomes evident or is implied unless companies have strategies in place from the outset.

The use of illicit and prescription drug use in workplaces is raising. This is causing concern amongst the business community and government departments. Organisations which have business critical and safety critical roles need to have a variety of strategies in place to manage these risks. One such effective strategy is to have an established workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing process.

 The benefits of workplace drug and alcohol testing include:

*Establishes a clear, on-going and ambiguous company message that substance misuse is

  unacceptable.

*Acts as a deterrent against substance misuse at work.

*Acts to ensure employees confirm their prescription medications can be safely used whilst      

  at work.

*Rapidly answers questions related to suspicions of substance misuse at work.

*Helps to answer whether short term, short notice sick leave relates to substance misuse.

*Gives confidence to managers/ HR that employees returning to work are being appropriately

  and safely monitored.

*Protects the company reputation and mitigates against accusations of substance misuse

  in relation to safety critical work and incidents.
