Drug & alcohol testing

The misuse of drugs and alcohol can have an injurious effect  on an individual’s personal life, but they can have an equally damaging effect in the workplace,  both for the employee, co-workers and the business itself. Employers will be breaking the law if they know of drug-related activities in the work-place and fail to act. They have a duty of care to protect staff from the mistakes of other employees acting under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Premiere can work with you  to ensure you have a robust and workable drug & alcohol policy. This provides a clear framework for employer and employees to work from and ensures that all relevant legislation is being adhered to.

In line with your policy, we can provide you with  a 24 hour service for  Pre-employment, Random and For Cause drug and alcohol testing with all specimens collected under a strict chain of custody protocol by our fully trained collection officers nationwide.
