Can I Test?
There are no laws for workplace drug testing in NZ so it's important to have clear and robust policies within your business that align with the Health & Safety at Work Act. Testing needs to be carried out in accordance with AS/NZS 4308:2008 standards by a qualified technician. Resultz Group can help to develop a robust policy to suit your needs but remember, if you have an issue, it's important to address it right away - even if you don't have a policy in place. At a minimum, having a drug & alcohol testing clause in your employment contracts is essential.
