Drug and alcohol screening

Maintaining a drug and alcohol-free workplace is critical

Employers have a responsibility to ensure the health and safety of their workers and to minimise workplace risks. Drug and alcohol screening is one tool that can help achieve this.

CS Health has provided drug and alcohol screening and support services to the NSW coal industry and other industries since 1996, including:

  • Drug and alcohol screening – including synthetic drugs
  • Onsite screening to cover all shifts
  • Individual appointments at CS Health offices
  • Site-specific reporting
  • Advice on drug and alcohol policy development
  • Assistance with implementation of drug and alcohol programs
  • Education sessions to inform your workforce on the myths and risks of drug and alcohol misuse
  • Education about all aspects of screening.

We offer

  • Instant urine drug screen
    • CS Health has the following accreditation:
      • AS/NZS 4308:2008 Procedures for specimen collection and detection and quantitation of drugs of abuse in urine, section 2 and appendix A
      • AS/NZS 17025:2017 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

To meet Work Health and Safety obligations, employers should implement a ‘fitness for work’ program designed to address and manage risks associated with drug and alcohol use.  This includes a comprehensive drug and alcohol policy that features screening and support mechanisms, sets clear expectations for workplace behaviour and ensures that workers are fit for work.

CS Health can provide guidance on developing and implementing policies tailored to the specific needs of your workplace.
