Implementing Drug Testing in the Workplace

To successfully introduce workplace drug testing, employers should:

Update employment agreements to reflect pre-employment, random, reasonable cause, periodic, post-incident and follow-up testing.

– Ensure workplace policies clearly define the testing methods, employer/employee choice, and enforcement procedures. Best practice is to offer both sample methods of testing, randomly or if one cannot be done, the other method can be used.

– Comply with industry standards: AS/NZS 4760:2019 (Oral), AS/NZS 4308:2008 (Urine), and AS 3547-2019 (Breathalyser for alcohol testing).

– Develop a transparent process for random drug testing selection.

– Submit non-negative tests for laboratory confirmation to maintain legal integrity.
