Originally published in Construction Management.

Mace has introduced fingerprint drug tests that can detect drug use among construction workers within around 10 minutes.

The Intelligent Fingerprinting system collects and analyses tiny traces of fingerprint sweat and supports Mace’s random drug testing of all employees from directors to labourers.

It is being used to enforce Mace’s contractual drug usage policy, required by major contractors on construction projects, as well as forming part of the company’s ‘fitness for work’ and employee wellbeing initiatives.

Mace said it had selected the fingerprint method ahead of urine and saliva tests as Intelligent Fingerprinting’s portable solution enables on-site drug tests at its construction sites.

The company added that it was committed to offering support to any employees who may have a drug usage problem, providing them with a range of support options through their HR function.

Earlier this year, Masterson Holdings, the parent company of concrete frame specialist GetJar, Atlantic Contracts and Glencoe Plant Services announced that it would also use the Intelligent Fingerprinting system.

Meanwhile, Staffordshire-based Chasetown Civil Engineering has also adopted the tests.

Karl Griffin, HSE director at Chasetown said: “Due to the nature of our projects, our employees often drive heavy machinery such as earth mover, excavators and dumpers. That’s why we operate a no-tolerance drug and alcohol policy, to ensure our employees are always fit to handle or be around such potentially dangerous machinery. For years we have used an in-house saliva test for limited random testing or after a rare incident or report of a concern, for example.

“However, we were really attracted to the Intelligent Fingerprinting method. Not only can I carry out the drug test myself and get rapid results as required, but I’m also able to collect samples while maintaining social distancing from the employee – a major benefit when we’re trying to keep our workforce moving during the pandemic. Both parties can also wear masks throughout the test if needed.”

Dr Paul Yates of Intelligent Fingerprinting said: “The Intelligent Fingerprinting method tests for evidence of very recent drug use – enabling organisations like Chasetown Civil Engineering to determine more accurately whether an employee is fit to work while on site.

“We’re already working with several construction firms that appreciate the benefit of our easy-to-use screening test to reinforce their health and safety policies. Intelligent Fingerprinting testing can be carried out without expensive external testing support and because no specialist testing areas or biohazardous disposal services are required, the process is simple to use in-house as often as required.”

Russell Webster: Intelligent fingerprinting to support drug recovery

Orginally published in Russell Webster.

New system of drug-screening using portable fingerprint system is more humane and provides much faster results. Current trial by drug treatment provider CGL.

Portable drug screening

The drug treatment agency Change, grow, live recently (15 March 2017) announced that it was piloting an innovative new approach to drug screening.

The non-invasive drug screening system from Intelligent Fingerprinting is easy to use, and will enable CGL to determine in minutes if a client has recently used any of the four drugs in the test – amphetamines, cannabis, cocaine and opiates. The Intelligent Fingerprinting solution detects drug use by analysing chemicals, known as metabolites, contained in the minute traces of sweat found in a fingerprint sample.

In comparison with traditional testing procedures involving saliva or urine, fingerprint sample collection takes only a few seconds and is dignified and hygienic, making it particularly convenient for organisations such as CGL as there is no need for specialist collection facilities or biohazardous waste disposal. CGL conducts regular drug tests as part of its ongoing rehabilitation activities, however the cost and complexity associated with traditional collection methods has been a barrier to widespread adoption. The initial Intelligent Fingerprinting system trial is taking place at a CGL clinic in East Anglia where early user engagement has been very positive and the volume of tests has been high.

How it works

The fingerprint-based drug screening system consists of a four-panel test cartridge and a portable analysis instrument which tests for all four substances simultaneously. The test takes 5 seconds to administer and 10 minutes to provide results. The video below gives more details:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNnqlrUdMG8

Rationale

The rationale for this approach is set out by CGL’s Medical Director Dr Prun Bijral:

We are a social care and health charity, and an important part of our work involves providing our clients with the support needed to help maintain recovery and reduce the possibility of a relapse. Having visibility of the client’s progress and whether or not they have used drugs recently is critical in determining how we tailor our programme to support each individual.

The Intelligent Fingerprinting system is an interesting proposition for our therapeutic environment, as testing doesn’t have to be carried out in a clinical setting. Overall we think that the system will make it much easier to set up screening sessions, collect samples, administer tests and get results. This flexibility means we can operate from within a broad range of venues – such as community centre clinics – and provide drug rehabilitation services close to the people who need our support.

During our early tests we’ve had positive feedback from both our counsellors and service users. The process of collecting fingerprint samples has been very easy and dignified – especially in comparison with urine samples or using oral swabs. In my view this is the most important benefit; the approach is respectful of our clients, and will help reduce some of the concerns people may have about entering treatment.

Pilot

The screening by fingerprint is being piloted at one of CGL’s clinics in the East Anglia area, before being rolled out to other regions depending on feedback from workers and service users.

Conclusion

It’s not hard to see why CGL is trialling this; compared to urine or saliva tests, fingerprinting is both much more dignified and non-invasive.

The other major advantage is the almost immediate feedback which enables worker and service user to celebrate progress or modify their approach to tackle any relapse.

It is this speed of feedback which makes the system likely to be picked up by a wide range of agencies in a variety of situations, providing the pilot is successful:

  • Police road-side testing
  • Prison drug testing
  • Testing by coroners
  • Testing of airline pilots

I can also see its use when a patient is admitted having overdosed but it is not clear which substances they have taken.

Drug testing can be a contentious subject, but where its use is appropriate and useful, the fingerprinting approach appears to be a significant step forward.

Video: Introducing Fingerprint Drug Testing From Intelligent Fingerprinting

Intelligent Fingerprinting

This video provides a brief introduction to Fingerprint Drug Screening.

Increasingly, we use our fingerprints to confirm our identity and give us access to things that are important to us. A British company, Intelligent Fingerprinting, has realized that our fingerprints can even reveal the substances we’ve consumed.

When someone ingests something, for example, drinking a cup of coffee or taking illegal drugs, their body digests or metabolizes what they’ve ingested to produce secondary chemicals called metabolites. Now, we can detect the metabolites from within the sweat of a fingerprint specific to the drug they have recently taken.

Intelligent fingerprinting has used this knowledge to develop the world’s first fingerprint-based portable drug testing system. It tests for multiple drugs simultaneously and gives the results in minutes.

The fingerprint is collected on this small Cartridge, which is then inserted into the Reader. This device analyzes the tiny traces of sweat and the fingerprint to produce a negative or positive result for each drug in the test. As the device is portable, drug screening can be carried out anywhere for various purposes.

So, spot checks within the military at the roadside and to support drug rehabilitation. It can also be used for fitness for-duty testing within the workplace, and for the coroner’s service, it can provide early intelligence on the cause of death. Many millions of these tests are carried out every year so the potential for use for the intelligent fingerprinting growth screening system is enormous.
