It is thought that the long expected new drug driving laws will be announced in the Queens speech later today. It is hoped that the new legislation will make driving while under the influence of drugs punishable in the same way that drink driving is. Currently it is quite hard for the police to get a successful conviction for ‘drug driving’. it is hoped that the new legislation will make the process simpler for the police.

It is thought the new legislation will also cover driving under the influence of certain prescription drugs that impair a drivers ability in a similar way to alcohol, as well as illegal drugs. Many prescription drugs have it written on the packet that you should not drive while taking them.

It is thought the police will be equipped with instant saliva drug tests to screen at the roadside and that if a driver tests positive they will be taken to a police station and retested on a calibrated machine. The penalties will likely be similar to drink driving. Roadside instant drug testing kits are already used by police in some countries.

The 20 test pack retails for between £110 and £125 plus VAT, making it one of the most cost effective 6 drug saliva tests available currently in UK. However the performance is anything but cheap. The membranes give clear easy to read results, tests take a maximum of 10 minutes to complete, and individual results are given for each of the 6 drug groups included on the test.

Covering a full range of common recreational drugs, (the Methamphetamine test will detect both crystal ice but also most MDMA Ecstacy tabs which will commonly contain MET and other Amphetamine esters) Benzodiazepines are a wide ranging group of prescription drugs including tranquilisers and sleeping pills (important to screen if employees are to undertake high HSE risk roles) and lastly Opiates which will cover for street heroin, but also prescription pain killers containing high dose codiene, which again can have a sedative effect.

An oral drug test or mouth swab drug test is a drug screen taken using a sample of saliva.

The collection format varies from brand to brand. Some oral drug tests are a single step drug test, with the absorbant membrane incorporated directly onto the test membrane. Others use a seperate collection tool, mainly variations of a sponge on a stick. The saliva is then transfered either directly to the test membrane, or in 3 stage tests to a collection reservoir or storage vesel, allowing retention of an element of the original sample for later laboratory analysis (confirmation testing)

The drug screen depends as with urine near patient tests on the group of drug selected by the tester. Saliva drug tests are available in single drug formats, just screening for single drugs such as cannabis or cocaine.

More common are multiple drug combination allowing simultaneous screening for a range of common drugs. Common membranes include opiates, methamphetamine, cannabis, cocaine, amphetamine, benzodiazepines and  methadone. PCP is also available but the range is not as extensive as for near patient urine drug screening.

 Unlike urine formats there is no commonly agreed international cut off level for detection in oral fluid. As a result the detection levels vary considerable from brand to brand, with manufacturers competing for ever more sensitive membranes and the longest detection periods from usage. Check the specifics of the saliva drug test used as comparing the results from different products may otherwise cause confusion, and will invariable vary from an alternative urine based test.

The interpretaion of oral drug test results can also be less clear than with urine drug testing, as the detection levels are set much lower with the resultant take up of reagent forming thinner and fainter negative result lines. Full reaction times are also needed and must be allowed before reading results.

Despite these factors saliva drug testing has become more widespread, particularly in business and employment screening where the handling of urine is seen as problematic and the advantage of non invasive, easy direct sample observation is seen as a major compliance advantage to testers.

The shorter detection periods are also better for employers more interested in the issue of “under the influence in the workplace” versus “recreational weekend exposure”  which may not necessarily affect performance.

Employment and pre-employment drug screening is again in the news, and despite the economic doom and gloom companies are still investing in careful drugs screening to ensure the right employees are taken on.

Most companies embarking on drug and alcohol screening do not have the facility of an in house occupational health or HR department to oversee the program. This makes picking the right tools for the job even more essential.

Managers need to understand the differences between urine drug testing kits and saliva drug test kits, look carefully at the drug groups covered by the drug testing kit and the manufaturers guide & detection times for each drug type. These vary enormously.

Saliva drug testing offers the enormous advantage of easy sample collection, with high confidence levels that you are testing a fresh sample, from the person you intend to screen. Urine collection is obviously harder to oversee.

A range of saliva drug tests are available in the UK. Ensure the drug testing product carries a professional CE mark and also lists the European representative for the registration mark. Follow the manufacturers instructions for use and also refer to the accuracy studies which should be listed in the data sheet provided with all professional drug test drug testing packs. Products sold as home or self tests, or just not listed as professional, may be from the same manufacturer but do not have to meet the same regulatory and EU compliance tests. Check with the supplier if these drug test products are as good before purchasing.

Our suggested first line saliva drug test products for business are:

Oraline IV saliva drug test

Instant View saliva drug test

InstAlert Twist saliva drug test
