Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing & Management – Australia-Wide

Drug and alcohol use costs Australian workplaces over $5.2 billion every year. These substances affect safety, productivity, and business performance. They cause workplace accidents, injuries, absenteeism, and increase legal and operational costs. Globally, about 15% of workplace injuries result from drug and alcohol use. This makes it a serious safety issue.

Why Your Business Needs a Strong Drug and Alcohol Management Program

With the risks associated with drugs and alcohol in the workplace, it's essential you must address the issue in your workplace to make it safe and compliant. A clear drug and alcohol policy is essential for all Australian businesses, backed up by drug and alcohol testing in safety-sensitive workplaces. This helps protect employees and reduces risks.

Frequently asked questions about workplace drug testing

a

Are we able to legally drug and alcohol test our employees?

A workplace can legally implement testing if it’s justified and appropriate due to safety. There are no specific Australian workplace drug testing laws that dictate whether a business can or can’t implement testing. However, every workplace has legal obligations under OHS laws to ensure the health and safety of employees and others in the workplace. See our post on this subject for more details.

a

How do we implement drug and alcohol testing?

Implementing drug and alcohol testing for the first time can be daunting and there are a lot of questions to be answered. For example, will you use saliva or urine samples, what will be the consequences for positive results and who will conduct the testing? For more guidance on how to implement drug and alcohol testing in your workplace, please see our resource page on the subject.

Does Medicinal cannabis get detected?

If you are taking medicinal cannabis you can fail workplace drug testing. Whether you do will depend on how much THC is in your system at the time of the test and the testing method. See our information on medicinal cannabis for more information.
