Drug and Alcohol Testing Products: Ensuring Safety & Compliance

In today’s workplace and safety-sensitive environments, drug and alcohol testing products play a critical role in protecting employees, the public, and the reputation of businesses. Whether for random screening, incident investigations, or routine checks, having reliable testing devices and kits is essential. At ADT’s online shop, you’ll find a wide range of solutions tailored to New Zealand’s regulatory standards.

Why Use Drug and Alcohol Testing Products?

• Immediate screening & detection: On‑site kits deliver rapid preliminary results, often within minutes of collecting a sample.

• Regulatory compliance: New Zealand workplaces typically follow standards such as AS/NZS 4308:2008 for urine drug testing and AS 3547 for breath alcohol devices.

• Reduced risk & liability: Testing helps deter substance misuse on the job, minimise safety hazards, and protect your duty of care.

• Scalability & flexibility: You can choose from breathalysers, saliva test kits, or urine screens depending on your operational needs and policies.

Types of Testing Products Available

Breathalysers / Alcohol Testing Devices
These devices gauge Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) via exhaled breath. ADT carries models such as the AlcoSense Verity, a compact personal breathalyser with fuel cell sensor technology and hidden mouthpiece.

Saliva / Oral Fluid Drug Test Kits
An increasingly popular method due to its non‑invasive nature, saliva testing offers fast detection of multiple drug classes plus alcohol. For instance, the DrugSense DS08 PLUS kit screens for eight drug groups and alcohol in one go.

Urine Drug Testing Cups / Kits
Often regarded as a “gold standard” in workplace screening, urine test cups and multi‑panel test kits follow standards like AS/NZS 4308. These kits are suitable for programs that require broader screening.

Choosing the Right Testing Product

When selecting products, consider:

• Standards and compliance: Ensure the kits and devices are certified to New Zealand or Australasian standards.

• Detection range: How many drug classes or alcohol levels can the test detect?

• Ease of use: For on-site use, simplicity, speed, and clarity are key.

• Cost vs confirmatory testing: Screening tests may need lab confirmation in many “non-negative” cases.

Integrating Testing into Workplace Policies

A successful testing program involves more than just equipment:

• Create clear drug & alcohol policies, define when and whom to test (pre-employment, random, post-incident).

• Train staff or partner with certified collectors for sample collection and device operation.

• Use on-site screening kits for immediate checks, and refer positive or non-negative results for laboratory confirmation.

By choosing reliable drug and alcohol testing products and combining them with sound policy, you help build safer, more responsible workplaces. Visit ADT’s shop to explore their full lineup of compliant and high-performance testing solutions: https://www.adt.net.nz/shop/
