How often should we conduct testing in our workplace?

How often a workplace should conduct drug and alcohol testing depends on the industry, risk level, and company policy. High-risk sectors like construction, transport, and mining may require regular random testing to maintain safety and compliance. Other businesses might not conduct random testing and test for pre-employment, post-incident, and under suspicion. Regular reviews of your testing frequency—guided by risk assessments and expert advice—help ensure your program remains effective, fair, and aligned with legal and safety obligations.
