Intelligent Fingerprinting

UK’s largest greenhouse complex has significantly improved their safety protocols and employee well-being.

Located in Kent, Thanet Earth is the UK’s largest and most high-tech greenhouse complex, producing millions of tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers each year. Committed to sustainable farming practices and innovation, the company plays a pivotal role in the UK’s agricultural sector.

Thanet Earth approached us with a clear goal: to enhance their workplace drug testing process in a way that was efficient, non-intrusive, and aligned with their commitment to sustainability and employee welfare. They were seeking a solution that would not only ensure compliance with safety regulations but also foster a positive work environment.

 

 

Implementing a Non-Invasive Solution

Traditional drug testing methods can be time-consuming, invasive, and sometimes disruptive to operations. Our fingerprint drug testing technology provided Thanet Earth with a non-invasive alternative that respects employee privacy and reduces discomfort.

By collecting sweat samples from fingerprints, we enabled them to conduct drug tests quickly and hygienically. The portability of our devices meant that testing could be done on-site without the need for specialised facilities, minimising disruption to their daily operations.

Since implementing our fingerprint drug testing system, Thanet Earth has experienced several positive changes:

  • Enhanced Efficiency: Testing processes are now quicker, allowing staff and management to focus more on their core responsibilities. Immediate results mean that any necessary actions can be taken promptly.
  • Improved Employee Relations: Employees have appreciated the less intrusive nature of the testing, which has helped to maintain openness within the workforce.
  • Strengthened Safety Culture: The ease and speed of testing have reinforced the importance of safety protocols, encouraging a culture where employees feel responsible for contributing to a safe workplace.

The response has been overwhelmingly positive. Here’s what Emma Bullock, Head of People at Thanet Earth had to say:

“We are thrilled to partner with Intelligent Fingerprinting to enhance our approach to workplace safety. Fingerprint drug testing allows us to ensure that our team is operating in a safe and efficient manner without interrupting our daily operations. Working with Intelligent Fingerprinting has been a seamless experience. Their team was attentive to our needs and provided excellent support throughout the implementation process. The switch to fingerprint drug testing has been a game-changer for us. It’s quick, easy, and our staff appreciate the non-intrusive approach. It’s helped us reinforce our commitment to safety without adding any burden.”

We are proud of the role we’ve played in helping Thanet Earth enhance their workplace safety. Their commitment to innovation and employee welfare resonates with our own values. We look forward to continuing our partnership and exploring new ways to support their goals. We hope that their success story will inspire other organisations to consider how innovative approaches can lead to positive change.
