NZDDA is the only accredited on-site collection agency in New Zealand, since receiving accreditation from International Accreditation New Zealand (IANZ) in August 2010.

Recognised as the industry leader in on-site workplace drug and alcohol testing, NZDDA conduct close to 25,000 tests per annum across the country and this number is increasing as employers see the advantages to having a drug and alcohol free workplace.

It is now time for the white collar sector to realise that they are not immune from the effects of drug and alcohol abuse in the workplace. Traditionally this testing has been associated with the construction, forestry, manufacturing and transport industries where lives are at risk should someone have an accident.

While lives are not at risk in an office, livelihoods are if someone starts stealing from a company or turning out work that is sub-standard. The company will soon lose its reputation and then it is all downhill due to one bad employee or as the case often is that employee will drag those around them down as well.

While current caselaw around drug testing in New Zealand limits random testing to safety sensitive roles the rest of the options are available to the white collar sector, such as pre-employment, post-accident (crashing the company car) and reasonable cause testing.  Company’s who have drug and alcohol testing in place experience lower absenteeism and higher productivity which are further reasons why a company should consider introducing a drug and alcohol policy and testing.

NZDDA are the experts when it comes to drug and alcohol policy design, implementation, education and screening/testing in the workplace so for more information visit their website www.nzdda.co.nz or call our freephone on 0508DRUGTEST
