RASL’s Role in Supporting Alcolizer Technology
For Alcolizer Technology, RASL plays a vital role in ensuring compliance and quality. They provide:
-
- Accredited confirmation testing for oral fluid and urine samples.
- Independent verification that our drug and alcohol testing solutions and onsite testing devices meet the highest standards and regulatory requirements for collection and testing processes to comply with Australian & New Zealand Standards.
Best Practices for Employers
To maintain integrity and safety in workplace, testing must be legally defensible and designed to improve workplace safety:
-
- Align workplace drug testing policies and procedures with Australian and New Zealand Standards.
- Use certified and independently verified onsite oral fluid and urine drug test kits that meet Australian & New Zealand Standards.
- Ensure all not-negative results are sent to a NATA-accredited laboratory for confirmation testing for accurate and defensible results.
- Train personnel on specimen collection and chain-of-custody procedures to maintain compliance and integrity.
Compliance with these standards is essential for workplaces, testing providers, and regulatory bodies committed to safety and integrity.
