FORMS OF TESTING. 16.1. Self-Testing
FORMS OF TESTING. 16.1 Self-Testing The PC/Employer shall be required to provide sufficient self-testing facilities for alcohol and/or drugs for up to 10% of the workforce. Where self-test facilities are made available voluntary or self-testing for alcohol will be available for Workers prior to presenting for work. A wall mounted breathalyser (optional) will be located in an area that provides for discrete privacy for the worker, whilst completing the test so the test results cannot be inadvertently observed and disclosed to other parties. A Worker undertakes self-testing at his/her own accord; therefore, no test details are recorded. However, all Workers have obligations under the Work Health and Safety Act or equivalent occupational health and safety or occupational safety and health legislation in other States or Territories and must not wilfully place at risk their health and safety or the health and safety of other Workers or people at the workplace by commencing work if they believe they’re impaired.
