Why is workplace drug and alcohol testing important?
Everyone has the right to be protected at work. Workers who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, illicit or prescribed, can present a severe risk to workplace health and safety. The detrimental effects range from disrespectful behaviour or poor performance to deliberate sabotage and serious injuries or casualties.
As a PCBU (Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking), you have a duty of care for the health and wellbeing of anyone in your workplace.

A drug and alcohol policy is crucial for maintaining a healthy and safe working environment for everybody in the workplace. This policy should include a comprehensive procedure wherein drug and alcohol testing should be a major part to assure the health status of their workers at any given time and identifying them to be safe for work.
