Alcohol and drug testing
Breathalyser calibration, and alcohol and drug test kits for use on board that comply with the policy your charterers and vetting inspectors check.
Most charterers expect an alcohol and drug policy that includes unannounced testing on board, and vetting inspectors want to see the kits and the breathalyser's calibration record. The STCW Code sets the alcohol limit; your safety management system sets how the testing is done.
We calibrate breathalysers and keep the kits in date, so the testing part of your policy never turns into a finding.
Scope
Calibration of screening and evidential breath alcohol testers, with certificates.
Supply of multi-panel drug test kits and alcohol testing consumables, with expiry dates tracked.
Test record forms that match your procedure and are ready for the vetting inspector.
