When an unconfirmed or non-negative result is detected during a urine or oral fluid screening, it’s important to follow your workplace drug and alcohol policy for the next steps. Laboratory confirmation—using the same method as the initial screen—is recommended through a NATA-accredited lab to ensure accurate, legally defensible results. Confirmation kits are available on our website, and this post walks you through the process.

Understanding how alcohol affects your body is key to staying safe—and legal—on the road. In Australia, the legal limit is under 0.05 for fully licensed drivers, and zero for learners and provisional drivers. The answer isn’t as simple as counting your drinks—it depends on a range of factors including your weight, gender, metabolism, food intake, and the type of alcohol consumed.
As winter sets in, maintaining hygiene during breath alcohol testing is more important than ever. While there’s no evidence of cross-infection from breathalysers, following best practices can help minimise any risk. This post outlines simple, effective steps to keep your testing process safe, clean, and compliant.
In Australia, alcohol is a familiar presence at social gatherings—from weekend barbecues to casual drinks with friends. But how often do we pause to consider what qualifies as risky drinking? According to national health guidelines, regularly exceeding just 10 standard drinks a week—or having more than 4 in a single day—can significantly increase the risk of harm. This blog explores the hidden dangers behind what many consider “normal” drinking habits.
A simple mouth swab can make a big difference in workplace safety. Oral fluid drug testing offers a fast, non-invasive, and highly accurate way to detect recent use—making it ideal for assessing fitness for work.
Oral fluid drug testing is a fast, non-invasive method for detecting recent drug use in the workplace. While this guide outlines the general steps involved, it is not a substitute for formal training. To ensure compliance and competency, certified training—such as the Nationally Recognised or Certified Operator Training—is strongly recommended.
If your trained operator leaves, your compliance and testing integrity leave with them — unless you train their replacement. Certified Operator training isn’t just about learning to press a button. It’s about protecting your team, your business, and your legal standing. Training is essential for ensuring your workplace testing is legally compliant, accurate, and respectful.
Let’s break down the science behind the technology that helps keep workplaces and communities safe. What Happens When You Blow Into a Breathalyser? A breathalyser works by measuring the alcohol in deep lung air, known as alveolar air, which is exhaled into its mouthpiece. To ensure accuracy, the person must exhale at least 1.2 litres of air.
One of the most frequently asked questions in drug screening is about false positives—and which drug groups are most common. Based on insights from our nationwide onsite testing team, we’ve found that Amphetamines (AMP) are the most common source of unconfirmed (false positives) in initial drug screening.
