Testing triggers (for example random selection, post‑incident, reasonable cause) are defined in advance and set out clearly in your policy and employee communications.
Trained staff follow recognised procedures and chain‑of‑custody standards to reduce the risk of challenge, with onward laboratory confirmation where appropriate.
You receive clear, timely outcomes framed for management decision‑making, not detailed clinical reports, keeping confidentiality and data protection requirements in view.
Where misuse is identified, Clarity can advise on fitness for work, temporary role changes and signposting to support, helping you balance safety, legal obligations and your organisation’s values
Clarity provides a joined‑up set of services so your drug and alcohol policy is practical, understood and enforceable.
Policy review and development Support to develop or update your drug and alcohol policy so it is clear, legally sound and aligned with your risk profile and culture.
Workplace testing programmes Design and delivery of testing protocols (for example, pre‑placement, random, for‑cause/post‑incident or periodic testing) tailored to your roles and regulatory requirements.
On‑site and mobile testing Drug and alcohol testing using on‑site, clinic or mobile medical units, with chain‑of‑custody processes and clear turnaround times for results.
Substance misuse awareness training Toolbox talks and manager training to raise awareness of risks, explain your policy and build confidence in recognising and responding to concerns.
Occupational health advice and case management Clinical input where substance misuse is suspected or confirmed, including fitness for work opinions, recommendations on restrictions and guidance on support or onward referral.
This combination helps you deter misuse, respond appropriately when issues arise and demonstrate that you take impairment risks seriously.
Policies and testing only work if people understand them. Clarity offers training designed specifically for managers and employees.
Substance misuse toolbox talks Short sessions for employees explaining the risks of drugs, alcohol and other substances, your workplace rules and the support available.
Manager training on drug and alcohol issues Practical courses that help managers recognise potential signs of misuse, understand your policy, handle conversations sensitively and know when and how to escalate.
Integration with wider wellbeing and mental health Training can be linked to your wellbeing initiatives and mental health support, acknowledging that substance misuse can be both a cause and a consequence of wider health issues.
This builds a culture where impairment is taken seriously, but people also understand that early disclosure and seeking help will be treated fairly.
Clarity’s substance misuse support reflects the same values that underpin all services: partnership, inclusiveness, experience and genuine accountability.
Respect and confidentiality Employees are treated with dignity and their information handled discreetly, in line with clinical and legal standards.
Real partnership with employers Clarity works closely with HR, H&S and line managers to design policies and testing regimes that fit your operations, not just a generic template.
Experience and practicality Advice is grounded in real‑world occupational health experience, giving you clear options that can be implemented in busy, multi‑site, shift‑based environments.
If you want a substance misuse approach that protects safety, supports employees and stands up to scrutiny, Clarity can help you review your policy, design testing programmes and train managers to respond confidently.
