Test on-site with full chain-of-custody
Our Occupational Health technicians attend in a private, confidential setting. Urine-based drug testing and breath alcohol testing handled to a standard that withstands legal and disciplinary scrutiny. Point-of-care results are available the same day.
One clear, prioritised record
Every sample is labelled and documented against your policy scenario - pre-employment, random, for-cause, or return-to-work. Management reporting summarises testing activity and outcomes without disclosing individual identities for random programmes. Lab confirmation of non-negatives within 3-5 working days.
Know what's next
Non-negative results are handled through the agreed escalation pathway. Positive cases are referred to an Occupational Health Adviser or Physician. Fitness to Work letters provided where needed, plus guidance on managing the outcome within your disciplinary or welfare framework.

Sector-specific solutions
Builders Merchants
Yard operations, loading safety, and customer-facing risk management. We understand the unique challenges of trade retail environments.
Warehousing & Logistics
MHE-intensive operations, racking safety, and loading bay risks. You need someone who can induct peak-season temps fast and ensure your night shift isn't a compliance blind spot.
Manufacturing & Engineering
24/7 production, machinery guarding, hot work, and COSHH exposure. You need someone who understands the tension between output targets and keeping people safe - and how to manage both.
Garden Centres
Seasonal displays changing weekly. Family footfall alongside forklift operations. Food hygiene in the café. Whether you're one site or ten - your risks are real and your compliance matters. You need someone who sees the full picture, not just the obvious risks.
Metal Stockholders
Heavy lifting, cutting operations, and materials handling across indoor and outdoor yards. Crane safety, manual handling risks, and COSHH exposure from oils and coatings. Your consultant knows this environment - not just the regulations that apply to it.
Childcare & Nurseries
Safeguarding requirements, fire safety in buildings designed for small children, food hygiene, outdoor play areas, and regulatory inspections from Ofsted as well as HSE. Your risk profile is unique - your consultant should be too.
