Overview

Urine Collection and Drug Screening Training course overview

Urine collection and testing is at times an awkward and sensitive process that must be handled with professionalism and dignity. When not carried out correctly, unreliable testing can lead to both increased risk of harm and unfair outcomes for workers. This Urine Collection and Drug Screening course builds the knowledge and skills required to carry out testing in line with recognised standards and workplace requirements.
 
We don’t treat drug testing as a tick-box process. Delivered by our NZQA-approved subcontractor InScience, this course focuses on the practical requirements of carrying out urine specimen collection and screening correctly and consistently. Learners develop an understanding of preparing donors, managing privacy requirements, conducting integrity testing, and maintaining chain of custody throughout the collection and dispatch process in line with AS/NZS 4308:2023. The course also reinforces quality control, documentation, and interpreting results in line with workplace policy.
 
Participants step back into the workplace equipped to carry out urine collections, maintain process integrity, and ensure results are accurate and reliable, supporting safe and fair work environments.

Our approach

+IMPAC's Urine Collection and Drug Screening Training training approach

IMPAC works with NZQA-approved subcontractor InScience to deliver this training with a strong practical focus. Learners are taken through the urine collection and screening process step by step, with clear explanation of what good practice looks like under AS/NZS 4308:2023 and workplace drug and alcohol procedures.

The course mixes short teaching segments with guided discussion, examples, and practical application so learners can build confidence in the parts of the process where mistakes usually happen. That includes preparing donors, managing privacy and dignity, carrying out integrity testing, recording results accurately, maintaining chain of custody, and understanding when specimens require laboratory confirmation.

The emphasis stays on applying the process correctly and consistently in real workplace situations. Trainers reinforce the importance of procedural accuracy, clear communication, and maintaining the integrity of the collection and screening process when work is busy or situations become pressured.
