Online drug test training for occupational health professionals
Occupational health providers play an important role in supporting workplace health, safety and wellbeing. For organisations offering drug and alcohol testing services, having the right testing equipment is essential, but ensuring staff understand how to use it correctly is just as important.
Whether you provide pre-employment screening, workplace drug testing, random testing or testing following an incident, appropriate training can help your team deliver a professional and consistent service.
UK Drug Testing offers live, interactive online drug test training, designed to help occupational health professionals and their teams develop their knowledge and confidence in workplace drug and alcohol testing.
Practical training for occupational health teams
Our online training sessions provide an opportunity to develop a better understanding of the different testing methods, how they are carried out and the procedures involved.
Topics can include:
- Urine drug testing and sample collection.
- Saliva and oral fluid drug testing.
- Alcohol testing using breathalysers.
- Correct use of drug and alcohol testing equipment.
- Understanding and interpreting test results.
- Negative, non-negative and invalid results.
- Chain of custody and sample documentation.
- Laboratory confirmation and when it may be required.
- Practical considerations when delivering workplace testing services.
The training is particularly useful for occupational health teams who carry out testing on behalf of employers, as well as those looking to introduce additional testing services.
Live, interactive online training
Our training is delivered live by an experienced trainer through Microsoft Teams or Zoom.
These are not pre-recorded training videos. Participants can ask questions, discuss practical scenarios and explore issues relevant to the work they undertake.
Each session lasts approximately one hour and can be attended by multiple members of your team. This makes it a convenient option for occupational health companies wishing to train several staff members without the need to arrange individual sessions.
One fixed price for your whole team
Our online drug test training costs £150 including VAT per webinar, not per attendee.
This means you can invite several members of your occupational health team to take part in the same session for one fixed fee.
Following the training, participants receive a certificate of completion.
