Andatech helps mining operators manage impairment risk through on-site testing, workplace breathalysers, drug test kits, policy support, collector training, Andalink Cloud Software and NATA calibration.
Mining sites operate under strict safety expectations. Heavy vehicles, fixed plant, haul roads, explosives, confined spaces, fatigue, shift work and remote conditions increase the level of risk when a worker attends site under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Mining drug and alcohol testing needs more than a device at the gate. A site needs a clear Fitness for Work policy, trained collectors, reliable equipment, documented procedures, calibration records, confirmation pathways and consistent data capture across crews and contractors.
Trained collectors can attend mine sites, contractor hubs and project locations for pre-start, random or post-incident testing.

Learn moreTraining helps supervisors and site teams conduct testing across FIFO, contractor and shift-based workforces.
Learn moreMining teams work around haul trucks, loaders, drills, crushers, conveyors, explosives and confined spaces. Impairment can affect reaction time, judgement and hazard awareness.
Incidents, near misses, equipment damage and stop-work events can affect production schedules, workforce planning and client confidence.
FIFO crews and large workforces need efficient checks during pre-start and shift changes. Slow testing processes can create entry queues and delay crews.
Mining operators and contractors often apply zero-tolerance or Fitness for Work policies. Site leaders need a process that workers understand before testing begins.
Remote and off-grid locations can make paper records, calibration tracking and audit preparation harder to manage. Centralised reporting helps safety teams see activity across multiple sites.
High-volume mine sites need fast and reliable pre-start screening. Wall-mounted breathalysers such as the Andatech Soberlive FRX can support site entry points through facial recognition, rapid fuel-cell testing and digital result capture.
Soberlive FRX can help mining teams reduce manual testing delays during shift changes. It can also support access control workflows when a site needs user verification before workers enter safety-critical areas.

Andatech supports mining businesses across Australia through equipment supply, on-site testing, training, cloud reporting and calibration services.
Mining teams can use breath testing for pre-start checks, gate entry, random testing and post-incident response.
Oral fluid testing suits recent-use screening during random testing, reasonable suspicion checks or post-incident reviews.
Urine testing can support pre-employment checks, scheduled programs and return-to-work monitoring.
Laboratory confirmation helps mine operators manage non-negative results after incidents, access decisions or Fitness for Work reviews.
Mining drug tests commonly screen for a range of substances, including the following.
For complex or confirmatory testing, laboratory pathways can help mining teams manage results with stronger certainty and documentation.
Portable breath alcohol testing for supervisors, safety teams and mobile site checks.

Let Andatech help your mining operation reduce impairment risk, meet site requirements and protect your people.
Requirements can vary by state, site and company policy. Many mining companies use testing to support WHS duties, site access rules and Fitness for Work programs.
Mining sites commonly use breath alcohol testing, oral fluid testing and urine testing. The right method depends on the testing trigger, policy and risk profile.
Common triggers include pre-employment, pre-start, random testing, post-incident testing, reasonable suspicion testing and return-to-work monitoring.
The response should follow the company’s written policy. Many programs include work restriction, confirmation testing, privacy steps, support pathways and return-to-work requirements.
Andatech can support remote sites through On-Site Testing Services, workplace testing equipment, Andalink Cloud Software, training, Calibration Plans and ongoing service support.
Yes. Andatech provides alcohol and drug testing training for teams that need to conduct workplace testing and maintain clear procedures.
The calibration schedule depends on the device, testing volume and site risk. High-use and safety-critical environments need clear calibration planning and documented servicing.
