Aviation drug testing. Accredited testing for the highest safety standards.
Drug testing in aviation is not about catching workers out
Designed for roles where impairment could have catastrophic consequences, our analysis focuses on identifying patterns of substance use over time, helping employers and regulators understand whether there is a genuine cause for concern.
The outcome of our testing is not a verdict, but an insight. One piece of evidence that supports safer, more informed decisions across your organisation and a stronger duty of care to the people who depend on you.
Testing in aviation should be proportionate, defensible, and clearly communicated
It must be transparent, consistent, and used only where there is a genuine safety or compliance justification.
Hair strand and blood analysis look beyond momentary impairment by detecting drug metabolites that remain in the body long after use. This provides clear insight into patterns of use over an extended period and not just a single snapshot. Giving aviation employers and regulators a more reliable, proportionate way to identify genuine risk, protect safety, and maintain trust across every level of the operation.
Safety obligations in aviation are among the most demanding in any sector
CAA guidance, international ICAO standards, and the operational demands of commercial and private aviation all require that employers take a proactive, documented approach to substance misuse. Ground crew, engineers, flight operations staff, and aircrew all sit within safety-sensitive roles where the consequences of impairment are unacceptable.
A structured testing programme is not only a tool for regulatory compliance. It is a cornerstone of genuine duty of care, and a signal to your workforce that their safety (and the safety of everyone who flies) comes first.
