Setting Up and Conducting Drug and Alcohol Testing at Events

Conducting drug & alcohol testing at events can be trickier to undertake than at a permanent premises, as there are not always the facilities required on site. Urine sampling typically requires a toilet to be available. Alternatively, the saliva test method may be preferable as less facilities are required.

Racoo staff are used to working on site in either permanent or temporary structures, including marquees. When booking drug and/or alcohol testing for your event, please arrange the below facilities ahead of time. For Racoo to ensure test accuracy and Chain of Custody, the below requirements must be met.

Minimum:

1. Toilet (for urine tests)

2. Secure storage
