Drugs in the workplace
Drugs can affect the brain and the body in a number
of ways and this can affect the employee's performance at work even if
the misuse takes place outside the place of work.
As an employer you have a duty to ensure as far as
is reasonably possible that your employees are not a danger to other employees
or the general public by consuming drugs of abuse.
Legalities
If you are an employer wanting to test staff for drugs of
abuse it is important that you have a policy in place, warning staff that
they may be subject to random drug tests and that the use of drugs in
the workplace or being under the influence of drugs in the workplace is
a dismissible offence. It is also important that you keep up to date on
the latest government legislation. If one of your employees has a drug
problem you should make every effort to help them, and encourage them
to seek professional help. If drug abuse is a common problem in your work
place it may be in your interest to begin a drug awareness program for
staff and managers.

Principle of the Test
The Multi Saliva Drug Test (Oral Fluid) is an immunoassay based on the principle of competitive binding. Drugs that may be present in the oral fluid specimen compete against their respective drug conjugate for binding sites on their specific antibody.
During testing, a portion of the oral fluid specimen migrates upward by capillary action. A drug, if present in the oral fluid specimen below its cut-off concentration, will not saturate the binding sites of its specific antibody. The antibody will then react with the drug-protein conjugate and a visible coloured line will show up in the test line region of the specific drug strip. The presence of drug above the cut-off concentration in the oral fluid specimen will saturate all the binding sites of the antibody. Therefore, the coloured line will not form in the test line region.
A drug-positive oral fluid specimen will not generate a coloured line in the specific test line region of the strip because of drug competition, while a drug-negative oral fluid specimen will generate a line in the test line region because of the absence of drug competition.
To serve as a procedural control, a coloured line will always appear at the control line region, indicating that proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
SPECIMEN
1. Q: How is the sample collected?
A. The donor actively swabs the inside of the mouth and the top of the tongue. As soon as the sponge softens slightly, gently press the sponge between the tongue and teeth to ensure complete saturation (about 3 minutes).
TEST DETECTION
1. Q: What drugs does the device detect and at what cut-offs?
A: A combination of Amphetamine, Cocaine, Methamphetamine, Methadone, Opiates, Marijuana, and Phencyclidine.
Abbreviated name on test
Proper name
Other names
Approximate detectable
time it remains in the Saliva after use.
2. Q: What is the detection window compared to other drug testing methods?
A: Saliva and blood have similar detection windows. Testing saliva/blood will detect drug use faster than testing urine. Saliva/blood may detect drug ingestion immediately while drug detection in urine may take 6-8 hours post ingestion.
3. Q: What is a lateral flow device?
A: The oral fluids test is based on competitive binding. Drugs that may be present in the oral fluid specimen compete against their respective drug conjugate for binding sites on their specific antibody. During testing, a portion of the oral fluid sample migrates across the membrane. If no drug is present above the cut-off, the sample will not saturate the binding sites of its specific antibody. The antibody will then react with the drug-protein conjugate and a visible colored line will show up in the test line region. The presence of a drug above the cut-off concentration will saturate all the binding sites of the antibody and a line will not form in the test region. The lateral flow is the migration and competition across the membrane.
4. Q: Does the test quantify the concentration of drugs present in the oral fluids sample?
A: A positive test result does not indicate the concentration of drug in the sample. All positive results are presumptive and should be confirmed by an alternate method (e.g. GC/MS or GC/MS/MS). Negative results may not necessarily indicate a drug-free sample. Drug may be present in the sample below the cutoff level of the assay.
Methadone Saliva Drug Test procedure:
Due to the sensitive nature of these drug tests, you
must be careful when carrying out the test to avoid contamination and
thus inaccurate test results.
Please read the instructions carefully before
beginning the test.
Allow the test device to reach room temperature (15-30°C)
prior to testing. Ensure the person carrying out the test does not place
anything in their mouth including food, drink, gum, tobacco products for
at least 10 minutes prior to collection.
Remove the test device from the foil pouch and
then remove the saliva collector from the sealed pouch.
Insert the sponge end of the saliva collector into
the mouth. Actively swab the inside of the mouth and tongue to collect
oral fluid for a total of 3 minutes until the sponge becomes fully saturated.
Gentle pressing of the sponge between the tongue and teeth will assist
saturation. No hard spots should be felt on the sponge when saturated.
Open the lid of the plastic collection cap by flipping
open. Remove the saturated oral fluid collector from the mouth and place
into the collection chamber of the plastic collection tube. Press sponge
fully against the strainer so as much oral fluid as possible goes into
the collection chamber. You may now discard the collector. Snap the
collection cap back on to the collection tube tightly.
Place the test device on a clean and level surface.
Twist open the screw cap from the collection tube and remove.* Note:
When opening the screw cap, ensure the collection cap attached to the
collection chamber remains firmly shut.
Now gently squeeze the collection tube and transfer
3 drops of oral fluid (approximately 100 µL) into each of the specimen
wells on the test device, and start the timer. Avoid trapping air bubbles
in the specimen well. Replace screw cap on the collection tube.
Wait for the coloured line(s) to appear on the
test device. Read results at 10 minutes. Do not interpret results after
20 minutes.
PCP Saliva Drug Test procedure:
1. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it.
Remove the test and cap from the sealed pouch and use the test as soon as possible.
2. Remove the collector from the sealed pouch and give it to the donor.
3. Insert the sponge end of the collector into the mouth and actively swab the inside of the mouth and the top of the tongue. As soon as the sponge softens slightly, the donor should gently press the sponge between the tongue and teeth to ensure complete saturation.
4. The sponge is saturated when no hard spots can be detected. Collect for a total of three (3) minutes before removing the sponge.
5. Remove the collector from the mouth. With the test device on a flat surface, insert the collector into the test device by aligning the notches on the collector with the tracks on the inside of the collection chamber. Push the collector into the chamber and turn the collector clockwise until it is engaged.
6. After 1 minute, rotate the collection chamber counter clockwise and set the timer for 9 minutes.
7. Read results at 9 minutes.
8. If positive results are observed, remove the collector by turning it
counter clockwise and pulling. Secure the cap over the collection chamber, seal the reservoir with tamper evident tape and send the device to a laboratory for confirmation.
Results
You can read negative results as soon as the lines
form, but for positive results please wait the full 10 minute development
time. Please note the drug type code on the test cassette and read against
the table. Read the results of each individually and independent of one
another. You will see a letter on the top of the cassette ‘C’ this is
the control band. The control line should appear on both sides this indicates
the test has worked correctly. If there is no control line (C) then the
test is invalid. Insufficient specimen volume or carrying out the procedure
incorrectly is the most likely reason for the control line failing to
appear.
Negative: If a second pink/red coloured line,
no matter how faint appears next to each specific drug (e.g. COC), this
is a negative result.
Positive: If no line appears next to any of
the drugs then the individual has tested positive for that drug of abuse.
The labels next to each line on the test will tell you which drug each
individual strip is testing for. Remember a negative saliva sample will
produce a line and a positive saliva sample will not produce any line.
What should I do with the results?
If you obtain a negative result then the person tested has
none of the tested drugs of abuse in their body at this time. You may
want to re-test again in a month’s time. If you obtain a positive result
then a drug of abuse has been detected in the saliva. You
may want to do another test later, or at a further date to confirm the
result.
This drug test will test for all the common drugs misused used in the UK.
ALL OPIATES (including Heroin and Morphine) COCAINE (including Crack and Coke) ECSTASY (including E’S and Methamphetamines) SPEED (including Whizz and all Amphetamines) PHENCYCLIDINE (including AngelDust)
ALL MARIJUANA (including Cannabis and Skunk)
