The UK construction industry contributes over £110 billion annually to the economy and employs around 2.4 million people.
The construction industry is already presented with many challenges to ensure the health and safety of employees. Whether construction industry drug testing or alcohol screening is a regulatory requirement or best practice, we have a comprehensive range of products and services to support your business needs.
Attributes like concentration, coordination and being of sound mind when working in these industry environments are critical – not just to the success of a project, but for the safety of individuals and those working nearby. Incidents resulting from impairment or intoxication can be catastrophic and not only damage reputations but also have the ability to stop a site if the incident is serious, resulting in huge losses and undetermined slip on time-critical projects.
Workforce testing is not a legal requirement for every company to comply with. However, it is advised to integrate some level of testing within the overall drugs and alcohol policy.
Deterring drugs and alcohol from site by implementing a drug and alcohol policy and enforcing it with construction industry drug testing is the most efficient method of mitigating these risks.
We work in
Healthcare
We work with private and public health care organisations, and have been a key supplier - directly and indirectly - to the NHS since the early 2000s. Today, over 50% of GPs in the UK use SureScreen products across 4 product types.
Manufacturing
Health and safety is vital in manufacturing as it is a high risk industry. Therefore, it is important to have an effective substance abuse policy and screening program in place to help keep your employees, and business safe.
Maritime
Accidents resulting from impairment or intoxication can be catastrophic at sea. Implementing drug and alcohol screenings for your colleagues can help minimise the risk.
Security & Prisons
Controlling banned substances within a disciplined environment is always a challenge. Surescreen can identify recreational substance use, as well as identifying and proving the presence of tangible illicit substances and alcohol.
Transport & Logistics
The wellbeing of employees working in such a high risk sector is of paramount importance - not just for their peace of mind, but also yours. Recent studies show around 10% of drivers screened are testing positive for drugs of abuse.
The subject of drugs and alcohol does not just pose a risk to health and safety, it also raises legal concerns. Employers have a duty to ensure the health, safety and welfare of their workforce where practical. It is possible for the employer to be prosecuted if they knowingly allow a member of the workforce to operate under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol that could place themselves or others at risk.
At SureScreen, we believe in prevention wherever possible, so having a proactive approach and affecting a positive culture in your business is important; you want to address substance problems head-on before any issue arises. We work with you to identify the best solution; from reviewing your policy and processes to identifying the ideal matrix and product, followed by training your people to conduct construction industry drug testing to the best current practice.
