Drug testing in finance. Know your people are fit for the roles that matter.

Drug testing has become an important part of managing risk in safety-critical roles.

Drug testing is not about targeting everyday workers or judging personal choices

Designed for roles where chronic or dependent substance use could have serious consequences, our analysis focuses on identifying levels of use over time, helping employers understand whether there is a cause for concern.

The outcome of our testing is not a verdict, but an insight, one piece of evidence that supports safer, more informed workplace decisions and a stronger duty of care.

Drug testing should never be intrusive or unnecessary

It must be transparent, clearly communicated, and used only where there is a genuine safety justification.

Hair strand analysis looks beyond momentary impairment by detecting drug metabolites that remain in the body long after use. This provides clear insight into patterns of substance use over time, not just a single snapshot or a small window. Giving employers a more reliable, proportionate way to identify genuine risk, protect safety, and maintain trust in the workplace.
