drugs & alcohol testing

Maintain a safe working environment for all employees.

OdiliaClark can help your business maintain a safe working environment and minimise days lost to illness by offering an independent Drugs and Alcohol testing service using state-of-the-art Dräger equipment as used by the British Police and Fire Services.

All of our consultants are fully trained and certified to carry out impartial, digital testing for your employees. This form of testing eliminates any ambiguities associated with more traditional forms of screening. In addition to this, we can organise independent laboratory testing following a positive result.

Digital and oral fluid testing can be carried out for the following reasons…

Advantages of oral fluid testing

Oral fluid testing is the true test of impairment whereas urinalysis can be considered a combination of impairment and lifestyle testing
Dignified, quick, easy and unobtrusive sample collection
Sample collections can be observed by an independent third party, eliminating the possibility of tampering with samples
Samples can be collected anywhere, there is no requirement for a designated facility with oral fluid testing

Pre-employment checks

Carrying out drugs and alcohol testing as part of your pre-employment checks safeguards your business and employers can be confident that they are hiring reliable employees every time.

For cause

This is implemented at short notice when there are grounds to believe misuse of drugs or alcohol. Reasonable grounds include post-incident, upon suspicion, or if drugs or alcohol are found in the workplace.

Random checks

Randomly selecting employees for drugs and alcohol testing may help to reduce the risk of accidents in the workplace whilst safeguarding you, your business and your employees.

We can offer assistance in writing or updating your Drugs and Alcohol Policy in line with current employment legislation.

All packages are bespoke in order to cater to your particular business needs.
