Drug and Alcohol Screening for Transport Workers

Creating a Safer Transport Environment with Drug and Alcohol Testing

Safety in the transport industry is mission critical. Drug and alcohol testing can play a crucial role in maintaining this safety, not only for workers but also for the public relying on your businesses services. The impact of substance abuse in the transport sector can be significant, leading to costly accidents that put the lives of your drivers and the public at risk.

Why Drug & Alcohol Testing is Essential in Transport

For transport workers, operating vehicles or machinery under the influence is highly dangerous with potential of disastrous consequences. Implementing a comprehensive drug and alcohol testing program can leads to a safer work environment.

The transport industry is heavily regulated. Adhering to drug and alcohol testing protocols ensures compliance with Australian transportation safety standards.

Substance abuse can lead to erratic employee behaviour and absenteeism, affecting service reliability. Regular testing can help maintain a consistent and dependable workforce.
