Drug & Alcohol Testing

Workplace drug and alcohol testing is too important to be subcontracted to a technician with a clipboard. ELS delivers D&A testing as a clinical service — administered by AHPRA-registered paramedics and nurses with full chain-of-custody discipline and the clinical training to manage the medical and welfare implications of any result.

Available as a standalone service or integrated into broader on-site occupational health programs. Testing is aligned to AS/NZS 4308 (urine) and AS/NZS 4760 (oral fluid) standards, with breath alcohol testing using calibrated, certified instruments.
