32 Best Practice Policies Extended Testing Laboratory based testing only Post accident/ incident & Reasonable cause Negative after on-site screen Urine always sent to lab for extended testing Random testing Extended testing on some occasions Follow-up testing Always do extended testing
33 Cut-off concentrations AS/NZS4308: 2008 Lab sets cut-off for new drugs Recent use or continual use Passive inhalation of cannabis not detected
34 Substances which Interfere with Screen Medication Opiates Amphetamines Poppy Seeds Biogenic Amines eg red wine

36 Current Issues
37 Collectors/ screeners: many not qualified on-site screening devices not verified On-site screeners: not doing quality controls or proficiency testing Companies don t send screen not negatives to lab for confirmation Policies/ procedures need to be updated to allow for extended testing Cheating prevalent due to lack of manager supervision
38 Dilemma: Urine vs Oral Fluid?
39 Urine Standard AS/NZS 4308: 2008 Oral Fluid Standard AS
40 Oral Fluid Testing Ongoing issues Target concentrations & on-site devices Inadequate for testing some drugs. eg THC Sensitivity & reliability Limited testing suite July 2013: NATA (Aust equivalent of IANZ) Not able to accredit facilities to cover on site screening for drugs in oral fluid due to a number of significant technical issues which are unable to be resolved.
41 Compliance with Standard Urine: AS/NZS 4308: 2008 Oral Fluid: AS 4760: 2006 Collection and on-site screening: NZQA certification Hundreds of qualified agents in New Zealand None On-Site Screening: accreditation (IANZ) Some accredited Not possible to be accredited Accredited laboratories (IANZ) Verified on-site screening devices On-site screening: Daily controls New Zealand: ESR & CHL Quality devices available Performed regularly by quality collecting agencies None No devices can be verified Not performed Proficiency testing programmes 2 x options available. Many screening agencies enrolled None Levels Cut-off concentrations Target (25ng/ml THC) or nominated concentration (manufacturer choice)
42 Other current issues Digesting cannabis Wont be detected in oral fluid P and other stimulants Only detect when high and not crashing Transport device to Lab Some drugs unstable (eg THC)
43 Current Status Standards Australia & NZ Agreed to update AS 4760 to AS/NZS 4760 Committee announced: Feb st meeting mid April Joint standard expected late 2016 NZ companies advised not to consider oral fluid testing until technically robust standard available Time delay: devices, controls etc
44 Drug & Alcohol Free Workplace Model Policy and Procedures Education and Training EAP, Rehabilitation and Case Management Testing AS/NZS 4308 Breath alcohol Outcome: Change of behaviour leading to a Safer Workplace Management Commitment & Leadership
45 WDT will continue to grow The Future Alternative methods will be available when reliable standards are produced: Oral Fluid, Hair On-site screening will always be limited to certain drug classes and extended lab testing will increase Increase in collecting agents and screeners from variety of backgrounds Important to audit quality of services: do they comply???? Increase in legal challenges if company policy/ procedures are inadequate and not appropriately managed Policies & procedures updates should be the domain of subject matter experts
