Step-By-Step Workplace Drug And Alcohol Testing At Sober Check

Sober Check provide step by step workplace drug and alcohol testing, implemented in the workplace, but companies will need to identify what they are trying to achieve in their workplace. Sober Check understand that each workplace is usually a safe working environment, free of alcohol and drug impairment, but companies will also need to work out what is and isn’t acceptable in their workplace.

 

They will also need to consider their legal requirements under the Health & Safety Act, Employment Relations Act, Privacy Act and AS/NZS4308:2008 Standard for Workplace Drug Testing, and will then need to work out when testing can be carried out, why it will be carried out and how it will be carried out, and then they will need to specify consequences or actions, depending on the results.

 

Writing effective policy is not easy, and Sober Check are happy to recommend policy writers to help out. Usually companies would test for pre-employment, random, reasonable cause, post incident, return to work testing, pre-promotion testing and annual physicals. To be able to do in-house drug testing as per the AS/NZS4308:2008 Standard, companies will be required to complete a NZQA course to achieve 2 Units Standards, US 25458 & US 25511.  This is a half one- day course which gives a good understanding of what is required.  Once these Unit Standards are achieved they don't need to be revised or updated.

Customers will also benefit from free access to their consultant toxicologist to answer their tricky drug testing questions.
