With almost 1 in 10 UK workers admitting to recent drug use [1], and 16% of UK employers saying that they have had suspicions about staff members being under the influence [2], it is clear that drug misuse is a serious concern when it comes to health and safety in the workplace.
Strengthening workplace safety starts with choosing a testing method that is reliable, fair, and simple to implement. Traditional approaches like urine and saliva drug testing can be invasive, slow, and challenging to manage, making it harder for employers to meet their health and safety goals.
This white paper explains how fingerprint drug testing offers a cleaner, faster, and more dignified alternative for UK workplaces. It outlines how employers can improve compliance, reduce operational barriers, and support safer working environments.
In this white paper, you will learn:
- The challenges with urine and saliva drug testing.
- How fingerprint drug testing aligns with the recommendations of the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and the Trades Union Congress (TUC).
- How workplace impairment affects productivity, absenteeism, incident rates, and overall safety performance.
- How to implement a fair, consistent, and transparent testing approach that aligns with Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) expectations.
Created for Health & Safety, Human Resources (HR), and Compliance leaders, this white paper helps you assess your current approach and implement more inclusive, effective safety practices.
