Daiken NZ is committed to creating a drug and alcohol free workplace to ensure the safety, health and wellbeing of its people. Daiken NZ will support its employees in achieving this goal through the following initiatives:
Pre-employment Testing Preferred candidates will undertake a pre-employment drug test in order to ensure that all practicable steps are taken to minimise potential or actual risk of harm to its employees, customers, contractors or visitors to the Company. The offer of employment will be forwarded to the candidate after due consideration of the drug test results.
Post-accident or Post-incident Testing Employees may be requested to participate in a test for the presence of drugs and/or alcohol where they are involved in an accident, incident or ‘near miss’ which impacts (or potentially impacts) on the safety, health or well being of employees, contractors or visitors.
Reasonable Cause Testing Employees may be requested to participate in a medical test where their actions, appearance, behaviour or conduct suggests that they may be under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.
Random Drug Testing Due to the safety-sensitive nature of the work we undertake, we may test you for drugs or alcohol at random intervals.

Serious Misconduct Employees observed taking, selling, transferring or being in the possession of drugs and/or consuming alcohol at work will be subject to disciplinary action which may result in termination of employment.
