Struggling to Navigate Safety Obligations?

Under Australia’s Work Health and Safety Act 2020, a “PCBU” (Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking) is legally responsible for ensuring the health and safety of all workers and others at their workplace, meaning they must take all reasonably practicable steps to eliminate or minimise risks to safety, including identifying, assessing, and controlling hazards within their operations. 

For PCBUs identifying, assessing and controlling risks can appear daunting, however, neglecting your legal obligations could prove more challenging in the long run. Merely drafting a drug and alcohol policy fails to satisfy current work health and safety legislation requirements.

A robust safety framework demands thorough assessment of workplace-specific hazards, including substance misuse risks. Deploying professional testing protocols with specialist guidance can enhance safety outcomes significantly. Workplaces require comprehensive, current policies detailing processes and requirements aligned with current standards and legislation. Collaboration with qualified experts offering policy direction, training, equipment and assistance helps foster improved safety practices.

At Alcolizer Technology, we deliver customised solutions for drug and alcohol testing to improve workplace safety. Our solutions not only provide testing equipment and consumables, but can include onsite testing by our trained professional, policy review, training, education, servicing and ongoing support.

Real-time monitoring and data management capabilitiese offers benefits far beyond basic testing. Secure result data collection provides analysis and actionable insights for PCBU’s in decision-making and compliance. While testing equipment contributes to workplace safety, complete responsibility requires a comprehensive strategy including thorough protocols, clear guidelines, training, education, and data management systems for operational safety and compliance.
