Understanding Alcohol Testing
Breath alcohol testing is a primary tool for maintaining workplace safety. This short and simple procedure provides immediate results through advanced screening. Canada Research Laboratories employs certified technicians to ensure precise readings, minimizing employee downtime while providing real-time results for employers across Canada.
Workplace testing ensures continuous site safety through key scenarios:
- Pre-employment: Establishing baseline safety.
- Post-incident: Thorough assessment after a safety event.
- Reasonable cause: Documented observation-based testing.
- Random: Programmed deterrence and compliance screening.
- Return-to-duty: Verifying eligibility after leaves of absence.
Accuracy and Chain-of-Custody are foundations of our service. Our forensic protocols ensure results are defensible, reliable, and compliant with Canadian workplace standards.
Alcohol Policy
Canada Research Laboratories utilizes documented alcohol cutoff levels for all workplace and safety-sensitive testing programs. While the standard legal driving limit across Canada is 0.08 BAC, many professional safety programs require a significantly stricter standard to mitigate risk and ensure a safe working environment. Our policy ensures that any detectable level of impairment is addressed proactively. Under these specific safety protocols, any detectable amount of alcohol in a breath sample is recorded. We report these findings directly to the employer or program administrator in strict accordance with their documented safety standards. This approach is built on the foundations of fairness, clarity, and unwavering site safety, providing total transparency for your occupational health requirements.
