COVID-19 update from Integrity Sampling

We are here for you

As a result of the Stage 4 Lock down announced in Victoria yesterday, we wanted to let you know that our first priority continues to be the health and safety of you our customers, your families, and of our valued team members.

Our office will remain open and our teams are ready to help. We have taken extra steps to ensure our staff are provided with additional training, PPE gear and disinfectants/sanitisers in line with the guidelines provided by the Australian Department of Health in relation to Coronavirus (COVID-19).

These measures include:

  • All staff are increasing hygiene practices, wiping equipment and surfaces regularly, monitoring any signs of illness, regular hand washing and maintaining safe distances wherever possible.
  • Team members are temperature tested daily and only coming to work if they are feeling well, not presenting any symptoms, nor been around any suspected or confirmed cases. We are supporting all our team members through these times.
  • When testing onsite, we are following advice from the Department of Health to limit contact, we continue to work closely with our accredited laboratories, and with your health and safety in mind we are now offering 'no-contact' temperature screening in addition to AOD screening.

We understand that visitor restrictions might be your preferred choice right now and are well aware of the safety risks in the workplace amplified by heightened anxiety with the COVID-19 and the effect on employees either working extended hours or new recruits entering into new workplace environments. Our Technicians have all completed the Australian Government, Department of Health, COVID-19 infection control training. This training module covers the fundamentals of infection prevention and control for COVID-19.

Historically there is always a significant spike in drug and alcohol abuse in times of increased social anxiety and economic uncertainty.  AOD random and 24/7 incident/causal callout testing has been classified as an essential service and our accredited technicians are ready to support the continued delivery of essential services to consumers, without compromising the health and wellbeing of consumers or the workforce.

Sincerely,

Brett Money
General Manager
