Drug testing
Manufacturing and processing – engineering, foodstuffs, paper etc – can create a hazardous cocktail of machinery, components, products and waste, plus manual handling issues. A small lapse in attention could have serious consequences for the individual, colleagues and the company. The reputation of a company can be tainted by the behaviour of its employees. Local bus companies have been known to complain about employees smoking cannabis on journeys; daytime behaviour in local pubs is commented on; drug dealers start to operate in company car parks. These activities can be prevented by the introduction and enforcement of a drug and alcohol policy.
Medscreen specialises in drug and alcohol testing services. We help you get started with your policy, and work with you to develop a drug and alcohol education programme. We provide random, post-incident, pre-employment and pre-access testing. If you have your own occupational health unit, we can provide training in specimen collection, and can work with them on education messages to support the policy.
