According to the International Labour Organisation, an estimated 62 per cent of harmful drug users are in full-time employment. The LaneWorkSafe Split Specimen Cup™ can be used onsite and will show accurate, reliable results in 1-2 minutes. In addition to being simple and easy to use, the LaneWorkSafe Split Specimen Cup™ also tests for adulteration. The use of adulterants can cause false negative results.
Accreditation
The following paragraph is taken from Ashurst consultant Geoffrey Giudice:
“In July 2013 the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) published a report which announced the withdrawal of its accreditation for the onsite component of Australian Standard 4760:2006, citing unresolved “˜technical issues’ for its decision.”
According to LaneWorkSafe Sales Manager Kara Lane, urine screening is NATA accredited and the LaneWorkSafe Split Specimen Cup™ is fully compliant with the Australian Standard AS 4308:2008.
Accuracy
The LaneWorkSafe Split Specimen Cup™ screens for six drugs as required by the Australian Standard AS 4308:2008; it also includes six adulterants. The adulteration strips are one of the best ways to test for adulteration or dilution, which may be used in an attempt to produce false negative drug test results.
The LaneWorkSafe Split Cup™ tests for the following drugs:
- Marijuana (THC);
- Methamphetamines;
- Amphetamines;
- Morphine;
- Cocaine; and,
- Benzodiazepines.
Furthermore, the LaneWorkSafe Split Specimen Cup™ can be used in conjunction with the LaneWorkSafe Synthetic Marijuana Test™. The Synthetic Marijuana Test™ enables the detection of synthetic marijuana, which is a family of compounds that mimics the effect of marijuana when consumed. Synthetic marijuana can be purchased via the Internet.
Efficiency
With the Australian pipeline industry experiencing an unprecedented level of constructive activity in the past few years, the number and size of crews working on these projects has inevitably increased. For this reason, the shortened process of drug screening offered by the LaneWorkSafe Split Specimen Cup™ test, which produces results in 1-2 minutes, ensures that safety officers can process a large number of crew members in a very short period without halting work for extended periods of time and delaying project timelines. More importantly, employers have peace of mind that their employees are working in a drug safe environment.
“LaneWorkSafe truly believes that “˜work safe – work well’ can and should be one of every organisation’s mottos,” said Ms Lane.
“LaneWorkSafe is committed to helping organisations Australia-wide minimise risk and assist in the understanding and preparation of a drug safe workplace.”
Additionally, the LaneWorkSafe Split Specimen Cup™ does not require third party testing, which means that the drug testing program can be managed completely in-house. This is both cost-effective and it means that those in charge of the drug program can retain control over the testing and have the option to scale-up the frequency of testing when desired.
