Creating a Safe and Compliant Workplace
An effective workplace drug policy keeps people and workplaces safe and ensures employers meet their obligations under the Employment Relations Act.
Our team can develop drug and alcohol policies tailored to your business needs. We begin by exploring your challenges and then work with you to create the best solutions. Policies must be embedded into all parts of a company to be effective. We make sure you have all the tools, information, and support you need to implement your company’s drug and alcohol policy.

Workplace Drug Police Legislation
It is essential that your policy complies with all relevant legislation, including the Privacy Act, Human Rights Act, Employment Act, and Health & Safety at Work Act. We will help you understand your obligations under these acts, and make sure your drug and alcohol policy adhere to them.
Testing must be conducted by a qualified technician according to the following standards:
- Urine drug testing in accordance with AS/NZS 4308:2008 (or subsequent revisions)
- All oral fluid drug testing in accordance with AS/NZS 4760:2019 (or subsequent revisions)
- All alcohol testing was conducted with a breathalyser verified to AS 3547:2019 (or subsequent revisions)
Other Compliance Requirements
A workplace drugs and alcohol policy must be reasonable, and this will depend on a range of factors that we can explain to you. The aim of the policy should be prevention, education, training and rehabilitation. There should be a clear procedure in place for what happens if employees fail to follow the policy.
Every employee must be treated fairly and equally under the policy, no matter how senior they are. This process includes consulting with employees and getting their buy-in and support to create a safer workplace.
