Why is workplace drug and alcohol testing important?
Every worker has the right to a safe and healthy workplace. Drug and alcohol use can affect a person's judgement, behaviour, performance and ability to work safely, creating significant risks for themselves and others.
For businesses operating in high-risk environments, effective drug and alcohol management can help reduce workplace risks, support safer work practices and promote a professional workplace culture.
As a PCBU (Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking), you have a duty to protect the health and safety of workers and others who may be affected by your business or undertaking.

Effective drug and alcohol management can also help businesses reduce the financial and operational impacts associated with lost productivity, absenteeism, increased healthcare costs, and workplace incidents.
A comprehensive workplace drug and alcohol policy is an important part of maintaining a safe and healthy working environment. Drug and alcohol testing can form a key component of this policy, helping organisations identify potential risks and support a workplace where employees are fit and safe to perform their duties.
