Safework Health has over 100 certified Drug and Alcohol Collectors who can conduct urine drug testing on-site at your workplace or at one of our clinics. 

A urine drug test, or a urine drug screen, is the most common method of workplace drug testing in Australia. It is a quick, accurate and cost-effective way of testing for drugs in a person’s system. 

Urine drug testing aids both employers and employees in preventing hazardous situations that could potentially lead to accidents and fatalities.

On-Site Screening Service 

Safework Health’s experienced team of Collectors can perform an instant urine drug test at your workplace 24/7, or at one of our drug and alcohol testing clinics across Australia.

Our Collectors have completed the nationally recognised HLTPAT005 Collect specimens for drugs of abuse testing (or equivalent), so you can be confident in our compliance with Australian Standards, including chain of custody procedures.

Laboratory Screening Service 

If the screen identifies the use of any drug groups, the sample undergoes confirmatory analysis in one of our NATA accredited laboratories to provide details on the actual drug identified. For example, if opiates are identified on a screen, the sample undergoes further testing for morphine, codeine, and heroin.

The confirmatory analysis is the result on which a company can act on any disciplinary action as identified in its drug and alcohol policy and procedure.

Our laboratories follow the Australian and New Zealand Standards for urine (AS/NZS 4308:2008).

Under Australian Standards, medication (including herbal or traditional Chinese) can be declared by the worker at the time of the test. This information helps our scientists understand whether the drug detected is consistent with the declared medication.
