What It Involves
A urine drug screen combined with a breathalyser alcohol test - a standard safety-critical requirement for roles like rail, driving and aviation, where impairment risk is treated the same as any other fitness-to-work factor. Prescription medication is fine to have in your system; just bring details so the clinician can note it correctly.
What to Bring
Valid photo ID (passport or driving licence) (and 2 more items)
Frequently Asked Questions
No - prescription medication is expected and fine; just bring details (or have your GP practice's name ready) so it can be noted correctly against any result.
Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment to ensure an accurate breathalyser reading.
