Can You Test For Drugs & Alcohol?


Published 01 Aug 2009

Random Alcohol Breath Testing

In the event you have employees performing 'safety-sensitive' tasks (dangerous or hazardous tasks) it might be argued you should conduct random breath testing.

Employers are being discouraged from random testing because of the cost of testing kits.

You can hire a breath alcohol testing kit from Employers Assistance Ltd with full instructions and a step by step system for just $68.00 plus GST or we can attend in person and test for you (Usually $280 plus GST plus disbursements of travel etc.)

Simply e-mail info@employers.co.nz to arrange the courier pack.
