Workplace drug screening increases almost 80%
On-site screening for national workplace drug testing figures have almost doubled in the last 12 months reports the New Zealand Drug Detection Agency (NZDDA) in its 2011 Testing Statistics released today. Last year NZDDA conducted 52,124 on-site screening tests, an increase of 77.8% from the 29,315 tests undertaken in 2010. Of those tested in 2011, 90% were men, compared with 92% in 2010.
Also screening for alcohol in the workplace, NZDDA's 2011 figures show it conducted 29,781 breath alcohol tests (92.8% were tests on men), more than doubling its 2010 testing figure of 13,821. Last year 0.42% tests were alcohol-positive, a considerable reduction compared with 1.9% in 2010.
NZDDA's chief executive Kirk Hardy says, "These on-site drug and alcohol screening test figures show a sizeable increase in the number of tests carried out from 2010 to 2011. It confirms our view that employers are much more aware of the dangers of drugs and alcohol in the workplace and are taking it very seriously. It's vitally important their workplaces are kept safe not only for their employees but also for their customers and suppliers."
