1 – What is Drug Testing in the workplace?

Drugs and alcohol testing

You may have your own views on the matter, and so might your workforce, but there is certainly a compelling argument in favour of screening for many jobs where drug use could impact on other people and business activities.

Many successful companies have already addressed the issues of substance abuse, and you’ll need a policy sooner or later because some insurers and contractors are now insisting on it.

A substance abuse policy should cover drugs, alcohol and impairing substances such as abuse of solvents.  Everyone is aware of the laws relating to alcohol, but many are ignorant of the laws on drugs, or their effect on performance.

So, if you need information on how to set up a testing policy, and conduct a test, you’ll find it all in a free booklet we can send you.
