A construction environment presents many challenges from a health and safety perspective.

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.

Construction Industry Drug Testing

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.
