Alcohol and substance abuse at work, costs employers millions of pounds each year, through the loss of productivity, increased sickness absence and increased accidents. Drug and Alcohol testing is provided to help the company manage any concerns it may have over an employee or its workforce and to offer support and guidance to both employer and employee in the correct handling of the issue.
Safewell’s drug and alcohol services are run by experienced and trained Occupational Health Advisers (OHA’s). They can help you to comply with legislation and help identify if drug and alcohol abuse is affecting your companies productivity.
Random Testing (on suspicion or because of company policy)
For Cause Testing (following an event)
Drug Testing can be Chain of Custody or dip stick (urinalysis). Chain of Custody testing will stand up in a court of law, so is the preferred testing method for cases likely to go to a tribunal or ‘For Cause Testing’ due to a specific work related incident.
Alcohol Testing is done by breath analysis.
Referral and Counselling
Following the results, and where required, Safewell can arrange counselling and further referral to external agencies.

I am pleased that you are helping dispel some of the dafter myths that surround OH&S (a passion you and I clearly have in common) and the item clearly indicates that as with so many of our professional colleagues you are not about stopping fun on the pretext of H&S. It is only with the help of people such as yourself that we will eventually get the message across that OH&S is about bringing (as you so aptly put it) purpose and value to peoples lives
