Construction, Mining & Energy

Managing risk is paramount in these high risk work environments. Operators in the construction, mining and energy sector face a high rate of work-related injuries. Drug and alcohol testing programs have been identified as useful tools in identifying individuals that may be at risk of injury or accident. 


However, there can be many challenges to implementing a drug and alcohol program. Worker safety is critical and companies operate in a politically sensitive landscape with many diverse stakeholders.  In our experience with construction, mining and energy operators, we understand that the workforce may be mobile and located in small numbers at numerous locations, often remote. Our network of over 100 directly employed collectors nationwide ensures we can deliver a consistent quality service wherever it’s required.  


DASA also understands that ongoing education and training is critical to ensuring the workforce understands its obligations. We have a range of the most up to date educational and training material delivered in a variety of formats to suit all workplaces.


For the construction industry, regulation such as the Federal Building Code 2013 highlights the need for organisations to be across their obligations with regard to drug and alcohol issues.  FWBC Policy from February 2016 requires implementation of drug and alcohol testing for workers involved in all projects that meet a threshold for Commonwealth funding.


DASA offers a drug and alcohol program that not only complies with relevant legislations but meets the unique operating needs of your business.
