The Council already had a drug screening program in place for cause testing. After identifying a desire to improve processes, minimise downtime & lower the associated costs involved, it was decided to investigate the benefits of bringing their Drug & Alcohol practice in-house. When looking at available alternatives, the Council elected to go with Pathtech because it was the recognised supplier of roadside drug screening devices to Police Agencies across Australia.

“Bringing the process in-house was logical. We operate as a lean business so we aim to maximise efficiencies where and when possible. Besides the obvious cost-benefits, undertaking our own testing gives us much more control over the process. It’s also more responsive in the event of a safety incident or if there is a suspicion that an employee may be under the influence, we can act immediately. The fact that is testing is carried out by a trusted and familiar face also makes it less daunting”

Local Council: Quilpie Shire
Quilpie Shire has been conducting drug and alcohol testing since 2009- with a broader policy developed in 2012 to incorporate screening of all council workers, contractors and subcontractors. Under the directive of the Council CEO, the Quilpie Shire conducts a program of random testing across each workgroup throughout the year. Testing on suspicion and post incident is also carried out, and staff can request a screen before commencing a shift if they are concerned about their own fitness for work. Prior to utilizing the Pathtech solution, Quilpie Shire was using a lolly-pop style oral testing product. “I started to look at alternatives and came across the DrugWipe… it was around the same time many of the Police Agencies across Australia had started to use it and that seemed like a good recommendation”
