The construction industry has a high rate of work-related injuries and is increasingly becoming more regulated. Drug and alcohol testing programs have been identified as useful tools in identifying individuals that may be at risk of injury or accident. In addition recent regulatory changes such as the Federal Building Code 2013 have highlighted the need for organisations in the construction industry to be across their obligations in regard to drug and alcohol issues. FWBC Policy from February 2016 requires implementation of drug and alcohol testing for workers involved in all projects that meet a threshold for Commonwealth funding. There are many challenges in this new regime including a workforce that may be mobile and located in small numbers at numerous locations. DASA is experienced in assisting companies both large and small in implementing an effective and cost efficient program that meets these new obligations.

DASA has been working with local councils to implement cost effective, high quality drug and alcohol programmes for over eight years.
We understand that government bodies are complex organisations providing a diverse range of services. Waste management, parks maintenance, libraries and child care all require unique solutions when applying an organisation-wide drug and alcohol policy fairly and consistently. In addition, size and location often require innovative solutions to unique requirements.
We take the time to understand these unique requirements and we work with you to develop the right solution. Whether it be drug and alcohol policy, education or testing, our understanding, partnership approach and flexibility mean we can easily customise our service to meet the many and varied needs of government organisations.
Over many years working with councils and other government bodies, we know that a drug and alcohol programme is more likely to be effective if it includes the following four elements. These are critical to success and we work with you to ensure they are in place.
DASA leads the way in:
• Effective education and training programme
• A clear focus on health and safety rather than social intervention
• Flexibility in the ability to test in any location at any time
• A well-documented quality audited process which is compatible with the council’s other processes
