Drug and Alcohol Testing

Drug and Alcohol Testing : High concentration and quick reactions are a requirement in many tasks particularly in the Maritime Industry. Accordingly , routine testing ( screening) for drugs and alcohol is now carried out by most shipping companies.

This is reinforced by increasingly strong legislation allowing for the prosecution of individual professional mariners and their employers should the misuse of drugs or alcohol be proven.*

It is now mandatory following "serious marine incidents" that the mariners involved are subjected to drugs and alcohol testing.**
