Random Shift Testing. In terms of Random Shift Testing it is in imperative that the PC/Employer and the Union do not know on what day, or at what time the Authorised Testing Agent will conduct the tests. It is a condition of entry for all Workers at any workplace to comply with any request to participate in random Drug and Alcohol testing as a condition of employment or contract. This means that all Workers attending or seeking to attend a workplace will be eligible for testing. Testing for Alcohol or other Drugs for Workers shall be mandatory and will be undertaken at any time throughout the Worker’s hours of work (including overtime) or at any time whilst at the workplace. Individual Workers will be selected for drug testing using a simple random selection process. A random draw will be conducted using an Authorised Testing Agent independent software to randomise the selection of Workers for testing. The random selection process includes the selection of Workers from across the entire workplace subject to the testing. A Worker selected for testing will be required to present themselves for testing within a reasonable time. Random shift testing shall be conducted in a room which provides for privacy for the selected worker during testing; the requirements for this room are outlined in the Room Requirements section of this policy.
