Drug and alcohol policy review services
A clear, well-structured drug and alcohol policy is essential for maintaining a safe, compliant, and consistent workplace. Our policy review service helps ensure your organisation’s approach is effective, up to date, and aligned with current legislation and best practice.
We work closely with you to assess your existing policy, or help you build one from the ground up, ensuring it reflects your business needs, industry requirements, and risk profile.
From defining testing procedures to outlining employee responsibilities and support pathways, we help you create a policy that is fair, robust, and enforceable. By strengthening your policy framework, you not only reduce risk but also promote transparency and trust across your workforce.

Point of care testing
Our comprehensive range of point of care (POC) and back-to-laboratory drug testing kits for both oral fluid and urine, provide organisations with flexible, reliable solutions to meet different workplace testing needs. Point of care testing kits enable fast, on-site drug and alcohol screening, delivering results within minutes.
These kits are ideal for scenarios such as random testing or post-incident screening, where immediate decision-making is essential. Designed for ease of use, they support simple, non-invasive sample collection and minimise disruption to daily operations. By combining speed, convenience, and reliable screening performance, POC testing helps businesses maintain safety and productivity while reinforcing workplace policies.
Back-to-laboratory testing
Back-to-laboratory testing kits are used when accuracy and legal defensibility are critical. Samples are securely transported to accredited laboratories, where advanced analysis provides highly accurate, confirmatory results.
These services are particularly important for regulated industries, HR processes, or cases that may require legal scrutiny. With robust chain of custody procedures and comprehensive testing capabilities, laboratory testing ensures full compliance with UK standards and best practice.
Together, these solutions allow organisations to implement a tiered testing approach — using rapid on-site screening for immediate insights, followed by laboratory confirmation when required. This approach balances speed, cost-efficiency, and risk management, ensuring organisations can respond quickly while maintaining confidence in their results.
