Occupational health testing
Medical Tests for Occupational Health
We collaborate with the country’s top occupational health service providers, supporting them in delivering patient care via customised test profiles, test consumables, and advisory services.
What is Occupational Health?
For many people, work is essential not only for financial stability but also for career satisfaction and social interaction. However, it can also pose significant challenges to mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing. Jobs involving night shifts, working at heights, exposure to hazardous substances, or intense physical labour—such as those in construction, manufacturing, transportation, forestry, and healthcare—are particularly high-risk. Many employers offer occupational health initiatives such as health-checks and wellness programmes to protect their employees and themselves.

(accreditation only applies to tests carried out in-house and not to referral and POC)
Option 1: urine or blood test
Limitations: The Drugs Of Abuse assays (with the exception of ethanol and urinary creatinine) are screening tests which provide a preliminary positive or negative results. If clinically indicated, confirmation by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) is required.
Note: a sample's pH and creatinine levels are measured to check for specimen integrity, which can be compromised by dilution or substitution.
Option 2: point-of-care kits
When Chain-of-Custody is required
We stock and supply our occupational health providers with tamper-proof Abbott SURESTEP™ Urine Drug Test Kits to facilitate chain of custody processes.
There are 25 kits in each box ordered. When ordering, state if you require additional chain-of-custody kits.

We provide chain-of-custody training
A member of our sales team will come on-site and provide training on the testing process.
We have a strict chain of custody procedure in place, to guarantee the integrity and traceability of sample from the time of collection through to the analysis in Abbott Laboratories. These tests are screening tools and therefore all presumptive positives require a non-negotiable confirmation test by the Abbott Toxicology Laboratory.
