Airline and Air Safety requirements for flight crews (pilots and cabin crew) and Railway companies are such that routine drug and alcohol testing is a part of most transport organisations today. They generally operate a 'zero tolerance' policy; meaning that crews are randomly tested to ensure the utmost safety at all times.   

MEDACX offers a complete product range of on-site Breathalyzer test devices and Drug of Abuse test kits; Urine and Saliva  POCT drug test kits; plus assocaited support laboratory services for pre-employment, random and ‘for cause’ workplace screening, with expert interpretation and the ability to find and associate other important factors to substantiate positive results. Laboratory standards are extremely high and systems, procedures and workplace screening kits comply with UK Guidelines for legally defensible workplace drug testing.

We understand the regulatory requirements relating to industry sectors (Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, Transport & Works Act 1992, The Railway & Safety Standards Board Group Standard GE/RT 8070, Railways and Transport Safety Act 2003, Road Traffic Act 1988, Corporate Manslaughter Act 2008, Misuse of Drugs Act 1971).

Alcohol and drugs abuse in the workplace is a growing problem that disrupts teamwork, reduces productivity, damages customer relationships and, ultimately, shrinks profits. Perhaps most importantly, it poses a real risk to the health and safety of fellow workers, and to the individuals responsible.

MEDACX has a considerable track record in the provision of drug and alcohol testing products and services to many different industries using expert toxicological expertise to interpret results and the latest analytical and product technology to detect the presence of illegal and prescribed drugs. We are able to apply a wealth of scientific techniques, skills and expertise to help organisations drive drugs and alcohol from the workplace.
 

MEDACX can help you develop workplace policies that are thorough, practical and acceptable to your workforce whilst ensuring that the approach aligns with your management processes.
