Drug and
Alcohol Testing

Drug and Alcohol Testing helps to protect the safety and wellbeing of all your employees. It improves workplace safety by decreasing the number of potential incidents and accidents. Drug and Alcohol testing is also standard practice across a wide range of industries for pre-employment, random testing, reasonable cause and post incident.

Protect your business with comprehensive drug testing

Drug and alcohol testing is conducted to detect the presence of illegal substances such as cannabinoids, synthetic cannabinoids, cathinones, benzodiazepines, opiates, cocaine and amphetamine type substances or the presence of alcohol. These may severely impact the ability of an employee to work in a manner that is safe for themselves and those around them. All our staff are qualified to perform onsite urine drug testing to AS/NZS 4308:2008 standards. And oral fluid testing to AS/NZ 4760/2019

As we are fully equipped and mobile, we are flexible and can test onsite. We can provide instant results for urine drug tests, and alcohol breath tests or, where required, a more comprehensive test using CHL (Canterbury Health Labs) drug testing protocols.

Urine drug testing can test for Cannabinoids, Benzodiazepines, Opiates, Cocaine and Amphetamine type substances.

Oral fluid drug testing can test for Cannabinoids, Opiates, Oxycodone Opiates, Cocaine and Amphetamine type substances

A more comprehensive test, completed through laboratory testing, would be best for synthetic cannabis and cathinones.

Reasons for testing can include:

Pre employment

Random

Reasonable cause

Post incident

Rehabilitation

We understand this can be a sensitive area of work and our service is offered by registered nurses who have experience in Occupational Health testing and we pride ourselves on professional conduct. Our tests allow employers to take appropriate and immediate action.
