Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing

In today's dynamic business environment, ensuring the safety and well-being of your employees is paramount. Establishing a robust Drug and Alcohol Policy is not just a legal requirement but a strategic investment in the health, productivity, and success of your organisation. SafeSync provides tailored solutions to empower your business in creating a safer and more secure workplace.

Many of the employers we speak to that do not have a drug and alcohol policy are concerned that by implementing one, they will lose some of their good workers. It is important to note that you do not have to dismiss an employee just because they test positive for a substance. However by not doing anything you are opening yourself up to potential fines if something does go wrong, or costly personal grievances in the event that you do dismiss someone without having a robust policy in place. 

 

We will work with you to review your existing policies and procedures, and or establish new policies and procedures that work for your business, while also protecting you from potential legal ramifications. We can also facilitate any testing required with a drug screening technician NZQA trained in both Oral Fluid and Urine Screening.
