Industrial Breathalysers

As the mining, transport, logistics and industrial sectors continue to boom in Australia the pressure is ever increasing on employers to provide a safe working environment for their staff. With a great push for larger quantities faster and more efficiently the need to increase staff numbers, facilities and operating systems continues to place pressure on the working environment. With this comes the added risk of employee injury, staff down time and loss of income through the often 'innocent' presence of alcohol in the workplace.

It is not the person who deliberately comes to work drunk after a big night out, rather the employees who assume they have a 0.0 blood alcohol concentration irrespective of the night before. It can only take a moments lack of concentration for accidents and injuries to occur. It is for this reason we see some of the largest mining, logistics, power and warehousing companies in Australia implementing a work place alcohol and other drug program. 

These programs differ depending on the work site, job type, employee numbers and machinery being used. It may take form in mandatory screening from a fixed style breathalyser at every gate to random breath alcohol testing to keep staff aware of the dangers and keep them on their toes. What ever industry you are in, no matter how many staff your company employs, the importance of industrial alcohol testing programs cannot be ignored.
