Why Drug and Health Screening Matters
Pre-employment drug screening empowers you to create healthy and productive teams. It helps you identify potential health concerns early on to ensure intervention and support for reducing the risk of accidents, injuries, and on-the-job impairment. It creates a safer, more productive, drug-free, and legally compliant work environment. Conducting a thorough background check and drug screen as part of your hiring process offers a strategic advantage by:
- Supporting drug-free workplace programs and industry guidelines
- Lowering costs of absenteeism, employee turnover, and compensation claims
- Fostering a healthier and more focused workforce
- Meeting UK regulations set by Department for Transport (DfT) and Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for minimised legal risks

Discover cFIRST's Extensive Range of Drug and Health Screening Services
Drug Testing (Urine, Oral Fluid and Blood)
Our drug testing services offer a variety of panels to suit your needs. We provide urine testing, a cost-effective option for detecting recent drug use. We also offer oral fluid testing, a quick and tamper-proof method ideal for pre-employment drug screening. Blood testing allows for a broader range of detectable substances and may be necessary for specific roles with a healthcare professional's approval. Each panel tests for a particular combination of drugs, allowing you to customise your screening program based on industry standards and potential risks.
Alcohol Testing
We offer evidential and non-evidential breathalyser testing, a non-invasive and convenient method that provides immediate results, making it suitable for post-incident scenarios. We also offer on-site oral fluid testing to detect recent alcohol consumption. After a positive breathalyser or saliva test, we use blood tests to accurately and confirmatory measure alcohol concentration.

Our occupational health screenings ensure employee safety and comply with Health and Safety at Work Act (HSWA) regulations. We offer fit-to-duty assessments to evaluate overall health and fitness for a specific role, musculoskeletal screenings for physically demanding jobs, and driver medicals that meet DVLA standards.
