How long does it take to perform the testing?

The products used by First Aid Training Group are the latest in high-quality drug and alcohol testing devices. Drug testing devices utilise the latest “quick-wicking” technology.

This means we get highly accurate results on-the-spot! The testing times below include completion of all paperwork and performing the drug screening test;

  • Oral Saliva testing takes an average of 7 minutes per person
  • Urine testing takes an average of 8 minutes per person
  • Alcohol breathalyser testing takes less than 1 minute!

How often should you perform testing on our staff?

The aim of drug and alcohol screening in a workplace is to minimise/eliminate the presence of drugs and alcohol in the work environment.

Hence, we recommend testing 30-50% of all staff in the initial 3-6 months. You will then be able to gauge the level of drug and alcohol use present in the workplace and devise a testing schedule to suit.

The aim is to eventually eliminate drug and alcohol use in the workplace to provide a safe, drug-free working environment for all employees.

Our Laboratory

Our partner laboratory is National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) certified to the latest testing protocols.
