DRUG & ALCOHOL

Drug & Alcohol Testing
 
The Building Code 2013 requires contractors to have a comprehensive policy for managing drug and alcohol issues in the workplace which includes mandatory drug and alcohol testing on Commonwealth funded projects.   From October 2015,  the new Building Code will have a significant impact on the construction industry.   This is only mandatory for Commonwealth funded sites or where there is Commonwealth funding over the specified threshold. 


To assist employers  to meet these requirements,  Mend provides a range of services including but not limited to:-
  • Random drug and alcohol testing
  • Incident drug and alcohol testing
  • For cause drug and alcohol testing

Objective medical drug screening is conducted in accordance with Australian Standards; AS/NZS4308 and AS4760 and can test for both recent and historic use. 

Who is to be tested?

 In the fitness for work policy, the principal contractors must outline the procedures under which employees are required to be tested. Mend can assist employers to develop and implement the following:
  • Drug and alcohol policy and procedures
  • Drug and alcohol awareness training
