Protect Your People. Respond Faster. Reduce Costs.
Every worker deserves to return home safely at the end of every shift.
A workplace drug and alcohol testing programme is an important part of managing workplace health and safety. It helps organisations reduce the risk of impairment-related incidents, respond quickly when testing is required and support a safer, more accountable workplace culture.
While many organisations rely on external testing providers, bringing testing in-house gives you greater control, faster response times and significant long-term cost savings.
Why Organisations Conduct Workplace Testing
- Random testing
- Post-incident testing
- Reasonable suspicion
- Pre-employment
- Return to work
- Policy compliance
Why More Organisations Are Bringing Testing In-House
Respond Immediately
When an incident occurs, every minute counts. Having trained in-house testers allows you to conduct post-incident or reasonable suspicion testing without waiting for an external provider to arrive.
Greater Flexibility
Conduct testing when your workplace needs it, not when a third party is available. Whether your workforce operates across multiple sites, remote locations or varying shifts, in-house testing gives you the flexibility to test on your schedule.
Lower Ongoing Costs
Removing travel charges, call-out fees and hourly service costs can reduce the cost of workplace testing by more than 80%.*
* Based on a workplace with 150 employees conducting 15 random drug and alcohol tests each month, bringing testing in-house could save approximately $12,510 per year.
Build Internal Capability
Training your own staff creates confidence, consistency and greater control over your workplace testing programme. Your team can respond quickly while following your organisation’s policies and procedures.

| Total Costs | $1,275.00 | $232.50 |
