TJ Transport are a leading bulk haulage provider, serving the construction, building materials and waste industries with external transport for over 20 years.
1. Challenge
TJ Transport are very health and safety conscious and therefore, wanted to introduce a system which allows them to randomly screen their employees.
It was imperative for TJ Transport that their employees understand that the policy has been introduced as a preventative safety measure, rather than a lack of trust in their workforce.
3. Benefit
TJ Transport have found that the implementation of a drug and alcohol screening solution reinforces their values of safety, honesty, and responsibility to prospective clients.
The introduction of screening has also been well received by all employees due to a focus on open communication, safety bulletins and regular training.
2. Solution
TJ Transport introduced a robust and active drug and alcohol policy which advises they will carry out both ‘with suspicion’ and ‘random’ screening.
To carry out their screening, TJ Transport utilise both the DrugWipe Dual and Drager Alcometers.
TJ Transport have also introduced regular toolbox talks on the dangers of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
4. Result
TJ Transport believe the implementation of a fully scalable screening solution has acted as a positive deterrent within the organisation, with little to no need for ‘with suspicion’ testing.
In addition, the low cost of the breathalyser devices, ensures employees are randomly screened regularly, with a zero result being achieved every time.
