Alcohol tests for workplace testing.

We have evaluated a wide range of alcohol tests.

Alcohol testing comes in a wide variety of alcohol testing kits from cheap home testing kits to the more reliable and legally defensible breathalysers used by police forces.

Alcohol testing kits

Each piece of alcohol testing technology provides a method of detecting alcohol either using a wide wide range of alcohol tests including hair tests, blood tests, saliva tests and breathalysers.

There are also simple alcohol saliva strips that can provide a colour coded read-out of alcohol levels in liquids including saliva and drinks on a simple dip and read strip.

Hair alcohol testing

Alternatively hair alcohol tests can provide confirmation of long term alcohol use but should only be used in conjunction with other indicators such as liver function tests.

Blood alcohol tests

For evidence of long term alcohol misuse blood alcohol tests can provide markers that suggest long term alcohol abuse or abstinence and should always be used to confirm hair tests.

For a comprehensive range of alcohol tests we recommend a visit to the UK’s leading alcohol test on-line store

UK Breathalysers

Workplace alcohol testing requires legally defensible equipment otherwise employers may be faced with employment tribunals challenging the results.

MHS recommends using Draeger alcohol testing equipment as a tried and tested method for accurate measurements of alcohol.  By combining a Draeger printer the results are difficult if not impossible to challenge.

Draeger alcohol tests are defensible tests used by major blue chip companies and SMEs to monitor employees in safety critical situations.

Alcohol testing.

Alcohol testing in the workplace.

Draeger alcohol breathalysers, which are Home Office Approved and used by many UK Police Forces are our first choice for workplace alcohol testing.

It is essential that any company introducing alcohol testing ensures that it is legally defensible.  This requires an appropriate drugs and alcohol policy and drugs and alcohol testing equipment that is sufficiently accurate to provide reliable results.

Legally defensible and ideal for the workplace is the Draeger 6810 professional and the Draeger portable printer.

To ensure continued accuracy the high quality Draeger alcotest requires periodic calibration.

By simple logging on to our on-line shop draeger calibration service.and sending the Draeger alcohol device to our approved technicians we can re-calibrate and return the equipment with minimal delay.

Alcohol testing using blood samples

For evidence of long term alcohol misuse it may be necessary to undertaken laboratory analysis of biological samples.

This may require a liver function analysis.

MHS provides legal chain of custody services with a laboratory report based on analysis of blood samples secured by our trained collectors to measure evidence of alcohol misuse.
