 Ireland
General
Ireland has a population of nearly four million people. The main industries are pharmaceuticals, information technology, tourism and agriculture.
Workplace Drug Testing (WDT)
There is no legislation regarding WDT at present. Most of the testing is at the pre-employment level. It is difficult to acquire accurate numbers tested.
The main sectors that are testing are:
- Transport
- Military
- Pharmaceuticals
- Information technology
- Call Centres
Many of the companies have the parent company in the US.
There are at least four laboratories in Ireland that screen for drugs in the workplace. An unknown number of companies also use the Point of Care or "dipstick" technology. |
