We are thrilled to announce that GPS Marine, one of the UK’s leading providers of marine and inland waterway services, has officially adopted Intelligent Fingerprinting’s advanced drug testing system as part of their ongoing efforts to enhance workplace safety. This exciting partnership reflects their unwavering dedication to ensuring the health and safety of their workforce while maintaining seamless and efficient operations in some of the UK’s most safety-critical environments.
For over 50 years, GPS Marine has been an indispensable part of the UK’s maritime infrastructure. Specialising in marine construction, logistics, and dredging, the company plays a crucial role in keeping the UK’s waterways navigable and operational. From large-scale dredging projects along the Thames to facilitating the transportation of heavy materials, GPS Marine’s work is both vast and varied, but always held to the highest standards of safety and precision.
Their ability to manage complex, high-risk projects with efficiency and care has made them a trusted name in the maritime sector. Safety has always been at the heart of GPS Marine’s operations, and their partnership with Intelligent Fingerprinting further solidifies their commitment to protecting their workforce while meeting stringent regulatory requirements.
Working in demanding environments like those managed by GPS Marine, ensuring that all employees are fit for duty is absolutely essential. Safety and reliability are non-negotiable, especially in industries where the consequences of impairment could be catastrophic. Intelligent Fingerprinting’s revolutionary drug screening system offers GPS Marine the perfect solution—one that aligns with their high standards for safety without disrupting their day-to-day activities.
Our drug testing system offers a non-invasive, quick, and hygienic way to detect recent drug use via fingerprint sweat analysis. With results available in just 10 minutes, GPS Marine can make real-time safety decisions, reducing the risk of incidents and maintaining productivity without unnecessary downtime.
Michele Steadman, Compliance and HR Manager at GPS Marine, praised the technology’s impact:
“The introduction of Intelligent Fingerprinting’s drug testing system ensures that we can uphold our commitment to workplace safety while streamlining our processes. The non-intrusive nature of the system, combined with its speed and reliability, makes it a vital addition to our health and safety toolkit. Our team’s safety is our top priority, and this partnership allows us to ensure a safer, more secure working environment without interrupting our workflow.”
For GPS Marine, finding a solution that not only improves safety but also integrates seamlessly into their complex, large-scale operations was critical. Traditional drug testing methods can be time-consuming and disruptive, slowing down critical projects. Intelligent Fingerprinting’s system, however, enables them to conduct tests rapidly, on-site, and without the need for invasive procedures.
John Spencer, Managing Director at GPS Marine, shared his enthusiasm for the new partnership:
“At GPS Marine, keeping our team safe is always our number one priority. But we also need to keep our operations running smoothly, and Intelligent Fingerprinting’s system lets us do just that. It’s incredibly easy to use, and the fact that we can get accurate results in just minutes means there’s no downtime or disruption to our work. This technology is a game-changer for us, and we’re excited to have it as part of our safety procedures.”
This partnership is a testament to GPS Marine’s proactive approach to workplace safety, always looking for innovative ways to protect their team while meeting the growing demands of their industry. By incorporating the Intelligent Fingerprinting system into their safety protocols, GPS Marine is leading by example in setting new standards for how safety-critical industries should approach drug screening.
