You'll receive face-to-face instruction and demonstration by Dräger authorised trainers, who have in-depth knowledge and experience of diagnostic techniques across a range of industries. This course is suitable for all levels of staff and ensures you are fully proficient with drug and alcohol testing equipment and techniques and therefore compliant with both health and safety requirements and industry best practice.
Designed to combine the best of traditional classroom learning with hands-on workshop style practical demonstrations, this course offers a highly effective and cost-efficient way of ensuring you are certified in the process of collecting and reporting drug and alcohol samples.
Course content:
Alcohol policy and testing
We'll look at what's included in your workplace drug and alcohol policy, including best practice for drug and alcohol testing in-house.
Illegal drugs
You'll learn about the most commonly taken illegal drugs and how they can affect the workforce – and those around them.
Prescription medication
We'll discuss how to incorporate a best practice procedure towards prescription drugs within your policy, whilst encouraging employees to notify you of new medication.
Drug testing methods
We'll explore the range of options for drug testing in the workplace and the best options for your company or industry.
Testing equipment
We'll look at the best drug and alcohol testing equipment to use and why, with practical demonstrations and hands-on practice tests.
Testing procedures
Pre-employment, random, for cause – we'll explore the range of testing procedures available and how to implement them effectively.
Who is this course for?
This course is for employees at companies who find themselves at various different stages of implementing alcohol and drug testing; our course is suitable for Health & Safety Officers, Occupational Health Workers, Transport Managers, Fleet Managers, HR Managers, Operations Managers, SHEQ/QEHS Coordinators, Company Directors and most job roles related to health, safety and wellbeing.
The course will suit you if you are at any of the following stages:
- No current alcohol and drug policy but are looking to introduce one
- A current policy but want to review it and introduce drug and alcohol testing
- Unsure whether you want to implement in-house testing or out-source to an external drug and alcohol testing service
- Already do in-house alcohol and/or drug testing but want to review current procedure and equipment
- Already use alcohol and drug testing equipment but only require one or two people in the company trained up on the equipment – therefore on-site training unsuitable
- You are/want to be a provider of alcohol and drug testing services
It is always recommended that you review your current drug and alcohol policy and procedures on a regular basis.
If you are in the early stages of introducing a policy, you will receive up-to-date information on legislation and the best steps to apply alcohol and drug testing. If you are in the latter stages, then you can review your current policy and ensure you are complying with best practice procedures.
Requirements
There are no entry requirements for this course and no prior knowledge of alcohol or drug testing is required. It is helpful if you bring along your current workplace drug and alcohol policy (if you have one).
