For professional drivers, safety is not optional - it’s a responsibility that extends to colleagues, customers and every road user. Ensuring employees are fit for duty is essential in any safety-critical environment.

For those in haulage and public service roles, alcohol and drugs can:

• Delays reaction times by 10–30%
• Reduce night-time visibility by up to 25%
• Impair coordination and steering control at blood alcohol levels as low as 35 mg/dL

 

To manage risk effectively, employers may implement:

• Pre-employment screening
• Random testing programmes
• Post-incident testing
• With-cause testing

Take a proactive approach to workplace safety. Contact Randox Testing Services today to discuss a tailored drug and alcohol testing programme for your organisation.

For businesses with commercial vehicles, ensuring drivers are fit for duty is critical to protecting employee well-being and meeting compliance requirements. 

 

The Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening System offers a flexible, scalable solution for portable, on-site drug testing that minimises disruption, and supports a safer working environment.

 

Detect recent drug use, enabling fit-for-duty decisions without intruding on off-duty choices.
