Legislation
The Safety, Health, and Welfare at Work Act 2005 is a key piece of legislation in Ireland that emphasises the importance of a safe working environment. The act places a duty on employers to ensure, as far as reasonably practicable, the health, safety, and welfare of employees. Drug and alcohol testing is a crucial part of maintaining this safe environment, helping to prevent workplace accidents, and ensuring employees are fit for duty.

Comprehensive Testing Solutions
RTS provides various testing options, including breath, urine, saliva, and hair follicle analysis, catering to different business needs such as pre-employment testing, random-testing, with-cause testing, and post-incident testing. These tests detect a wide range of substances, including alcohol, amphetamines, cocaine, cannabis, opiates, and more.
