Protecting Your Business and Workforce: Why Drug and Alcohol Testing Matters
24th June 2026
By FTMA News
Creating a safe workplace is one of the most important responsibilities of any employer. With increasing obligations around workplace health and safety, having the right policies, procedures and testing programs in place can help protect your people, your business and your reputation.
Following a fantastic introduction at the FTMA 2026 National Conference & Trade Expo, we are pleased to welcome SafeWork Health to present a special webinar for FTMA members on Thursday 23 July at 2:00pm.
Hosted by Simon Williamson, Chair of the Frame & Truss National Safety Council, they will explore the importance of proactive drug and alcohol management in our industry and why it remains a critical component of workplace safety.
This practical session will provide members with valuable insights into how pre-employment drug and alcohol screening, together with regular workplace testing programs, can help reduce risk, meet employer obligations and create safer working environments. The webinar will also discuss how businesses can better protect themselves by implementing clear processes that support both compliance and employee wellbeing.
In addition to their drug and alcohol testing services, SafeWork Health will showcase the broader range of workplace health solutions they offer, helping businesses build stronger safety cultures and healthier workplaces.
We were impressed by the SafeWork Health team during the FTMA 2026 National Conference & Trade Expo and are excited to be partnering with an organisation that shares our commitment to supporting members and improving safety outcomes across the frame and truss industry.
We encourage all members to join us for this informative session and discover practical strategies to help create a safer workplace for everyone.
