Drug and alcohol misuse can have a significant impact in the workplace, often resulting in higher levels of absence and reduced performance and greatly increasing risks to the health and safety of not only the employee concerned, but also their colleagues and anyone else who could be affected by their work. A robust and effective drug and alcohol testing policy can be a key component of ensuring safety in the workplace for everyone.
Part of the Medigold Health Group since 2017, Hampton Knight are one of the UK’s leading specialists in workplace drug and alcohol testing and support services, experienced in delivering robust testing programmes that are tailored to the individual needs of our clients.
We advocate a proactive and constructive approach to managing the issue of employee substance misuse and believe that any employee drug and alcohol testing programme should be underpinned by a robust alcohol and drug policy, which seeks to educate and promote awareness and to support employees who ask for help in a non-judgemental way.
That’s why we provide an end-to-end solution when it comes to drug and alcohol screening for employment. We offer a complementary policy review, counselling and support services, alongside our flexible drug and alcohol testing options to help you ensure that any issues are dealt with fairly and effectively.
No matter which of our services you choose to use, you can be confident that our expert team will always be on hand to provide you with the guidance and support you need from the start, so that you can better protect the welfare of your employees and maintain a healthy and safe working environment for your teams.
