Not-negative results

Where an initial screening result is reported as not negative, confirmatory analysis is arranged through a NATA-accredited laboratory using validated analytical methods.

Laboratory-confirmed results requiring medical interpretation may be referred to an independent Medical Review Officer (MRO) in accordance with the employer’s agreed workplace drug and alcohol policy, consent processes and reporting protocols.

A well-managed drug and alcohol testing program supports safer workplaces by helping employers identify and manage risks associated with impairment. Testing should form part of a broader workplace policy that includes worker education, clear procedures, privacy protections, procedural fairness and agreed pathways for managing not-negative results.
