Workplace drug, alcohol test leaders
INTEGRITY Sampling is Australia’s leading workplace drug and alcohol testing provider, with geographical coverage across all Australian states and territories, including the North and South Islands of New Zealand.
The company has provided total drug and alcohol management solutions for clients since 2001, which includes drug and alcohol testing, the development of policies and procedures and education for management and employees.
Because many of its clients operate around the clock, so does Integrity Sampling, providing a 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week on-call response service.
This is invaluable following an accident or incident when drug and alcohol testing is required, or if an employee is suspected of being under the influence after hours.
Raising the standards
Integrity Sampling welcomes the recent release of the Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4760:2019, which sets out procedures for specimen collection and the detection and quantification of drugs in oral drug testing.
The objective of the new standard is to ensure that the detection of drugs using oral or saliva samples meets the expectations when used in workplaces and for other purposes.
It also provides up-to-date procedures for the collection of oral fluid, on-site drug screening, handling and dispatch of specimens to the laboratory for confirmatory testing.
Integrity Sampling is also delighted to announce that the exclusive equipment used for all its saliva drug testing, the Draeger DrugTest 5000, has been independently verified to comply with the new standards.
The equipment, the Draeger DrugTest 5000, was independently tested and verified by the NATA-accredited Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine, and was the first and is still the only device to be verified to be compliant with the new standard.
Integrity Sampling’s clients can now have even more confidence in the equipment and processes that Integrity Sampling uses.
