Workplace test sample collection

We have a dedicated, fully qualified sample collection team available every day of the year.

Chain of custody procedures are followed to ensure that confidentiality remains throughout the whole testing process.

Chain of custody also means that our workplace drug and alcohol testing results are legally defensible. This is particularly imperative if the person being tested is likely to take legal action to contest the results of the test.

We can also train a representative of your own staff to perform workplace drug and alcohol testing and sample collection to the highest standards. Competency training is also available for members of your staff already trained in sample collection.
