Australian Drug and Alcohol Test Result

Detects Australian workplace drug and alcohol testing records - screening and confirmatory results under AS/NZS 4308 (urine) and AS/NZS 4760 (oral fluid), laboratory result phrasing (non-negative, cut-off concentrations in ng/mL), and breath/blood alcohol readings recorded in fitness-for-work programs.

Confidence justification

Medium confidence: the AS/NZS standard citations and non-negative/cut-off laboratory phrasing are distinctive of actual testing records, but the same standards are cited in workplace policies, procedures and training material that contain no individual results. Corroborative collection-chain keywords separate result records from program documentation.

Should match

• urine specimen screened in accordance with AS/NZS 4308:2008; all drug classes negative — Standard citation on a urine screening result
• oral fluid collection per AS 4760 - confirmatory LC-MS/MS requested for the non-negative result — Oral fluid standard with confirmatory follow-up
• drug and alcohol test results for the night shift crew are attached to the incident file — Explicit test-result phrasing
• THC-COOH reported above the cut-off concentration of 15 ng/mL — Laboratory cut-off phrasing with units
• random breath test recorded BAC 0.052 - stood down under the fitness for work procedure — Recorded alcohol reading with a BAC value

Should not match

• the drug and alcohol policy applies to all workers, contractors and visitors on site — Policy statement without any test result
• roadside drug testing was expanded by the Queensland Police Service this year — News commentary about testing programs
• the cut-off date for enrolments is 30 June and results are posted in July — Cut-off and results in a non-laboratory sense

Known false positives

• Workplace D&A policies, procedures, tender responses and training material cite AS/NZS 4308 / AS 4760 and describe cut-off levels without containing any individual's result. Mitigation: Require corroborative collection-chain keywords (donor, specimen, chain of custody, medical review officer) before enforcing; keep the standard-citation arm at a discovery/audit tier.
