Drug Screening and Easy Access

Isn’t it nice to have access to local pharmacies which allow you to use all kinds of headache medication, cough medicine, pain tablets, back soreness pills, and everything else under the sun without even needing to visit a doctor first? The ease of access of many seemingly harmless drugs makes the process of taking illicit drugs seem so much less dangerous. After all, if you have seen your parent taking drugs during the day growing up, and if you have had to take a fair amount of medication as a child when you were sick, things like heroin and crack do not seem like that big of a deal. You know what “drugs” mean. You know that it means something safe and good for you.

When your friends begin by downing cough medicine because of the methamphetamines in it, it does not seem like such a big deal. Then, they move on to pot, or marijuana, and they get to you try other things, like opium, or speed. It’s like a science experiment. There’s no wrong answer. It’s all just fun and games. No big deal.

It still doesn’t feel like a big deal when you get the urge to come back for more.

… At CMM Technology, we understand how easy access can make even full grown adults susceptible to very primal urges to feel good, feel better, and then feel the best. We understand how necessary it is to use employee drug testing as part of your regular business maintenance, and we know how important cost reduction is to you. We may not have the cheapest drug test kits and alcohol breathalyser devices around, but we do have the best ones. Our ToxSure saliva drug test and our drug test equipment with built in adulterant tests are top of the line. We know you’ll love doing business with us. We know that you will find our products to be strong, steady and reliable.

Not only are illicit drugs abused, but legal drugs are also abused a great deal. Alcohol can be consumed to get your spirits up before going to work. Do not let employees like this stay on with you.

Drinking Can Cause Fires

Alcohol is already a very flammable substance. When performing acts for the benefit of an audience, fire breathers often drink alcohol and then blow their breath near an open flame in order to appear as if they are blowing fire out of their mouths. Employee drug testing does not have to be this dangerous or this tricky, though. Saliva drug tests, urine drug tests, and alcohol breathalyser devices are all part of the drug test equipment which CMM Technology distributes throughout Australia. For breathalysers you are still using, we have a high quality breathalyser recalibration service.

Of course, all of this is meant to enable and encourage safety and respect while on the jobsite. This safety is compromised when a basic small office party or worksite celebration is set on fire due to all of the alcohol present and someone’s carelessness. The company is liable for the damage, since the fire was caused by an employee of your business. It is so important, therefore, that even in small, controlled celebrations, you have hired employees who know how to control themselves in the presence of alcohol. The only way to make sure of this is to use regular employee drug testing and breathalyser screening in order to make sure that your workers are in control of themselves all of the rest of the time. We are not suggesting that you are ultra-uptight about the process, or even that you should relax your drug testing standards for a while. Rather, we are stating that workers who exercise self control are more likely to prevent an accidental fire than ones who are used to allowing themselves more freedom than is reasonable while intoxicated or while in the presence of professional coworkers and clients.

A line, at some point, must be drawn, after all.

Try our oral fluid drug test and our breathalyser recalibration service so that you can get an overall view of how CMM Technology can make your workplace safer and more manageable all at the same time. You love your employees and the growth of your company. This is love by respecting their safety and protecting their assets in the business. Call CMM Technology today to order your drug test equipment.

Doing Good Work in Bad Times

When you are busy gathering all of your resources to do good work, things like emotional upheavals, personal business, and coworker trouble can really mess you up concerning all of your good intentions to do your high quality job tasks.

Well, there is a way around this. Of course, no one is truly adapted to separating their minds from their emotions except as a survival skill, so unless you grew up in a dangerous home or you have dealt with a lot of people who engage in substance abuse in your life you will probably not like the way this separation feels.

However, the separation of the mind and the emotions is a necessary survival skill on the jobsite, for sure. There is no way around it. You cannot accomplish what you need to accomplish in your professional life if you are not able to turn off your emotions and adopt an unemotional, but still sincere, professional demeanor. This keeps work from affecting your personal life and it keeps you sane during your major working hours. It also helps regulate your own emotions so that you can easily adapt to new and formidable pressures, and so that you can take all of this with equanimity and freedom of emotion yourself.

Employee drug testing helps you to do good work in bad times. You see, when employees are required to be fit for duty and they must pass their screening tests to be considered so, you will find that they will raise their expected level of performance…or their function will fall more sharply. By setting the standard higher, you are requiring that your workers either make the cut or leave. Alcohol tests and drug testing are perfect for setting this minimum level of professional behavior, though as likely as not, you will also have standard company policies governing other forms of behavior.

Now, when you are administering your urine drug tests and alcohol breathalyser devices, remember that we here at CMM Technology will provide you with a breathalyser recalibration service and that we sell high quality drug test kits, too.

Defending Your Place in Life

Anthropologically speaking, humans desire to fit into small groups where they truly feel comfortable and belong to more than being completely isolated and alone or being just another small part of a large crowd. This is proven by the fact that men seek to remain husbands and fathers, and women seek to remain mothers and keep their job at a small company where they are important, and children seek to form themselves into cliques, small groups of tight friends, or two or three very best friends.

All of these roles show how much one individual is needed in the group, and they show the individual how valuable they are.

It is therefore the preferred role to possess, and many people attempt to form connections with multiple small groups rather than a few connections with rather larger groups. People always need to feel important and necessary, and their lives often depend upon their hope for making a difference in someone else’s life in the future. Each person wants their mark to last upon this world. They want their fortunes to be changed and they want to change their fortunes. Ultimate control, and ultimate power over your destiny.

CMM Technology provides you with the means to determine who is employable in your company and who is not. Now, employee reviews and reports are all very well and good, but even sociopaths can possess a destructive addiction for many years, and no one else knows about it.

Employee drug testing and alcohol breathalyser devices really tap into this particular ability to discern information. Your company’s place in the business market must be upheld and drug test kits, along with onsite drug testing, are one of the best ways to ensure that it does. Our saliva drug tests show you the data which you need, while also being a very efficient way of utilizing drug testing technology. Now, for more information regarding what sort of products CMM Technology can deliver to you, you can look for more details on our website or you can give us a call today.

Craftsmanship

You do not often hear the word “craftsmanship” anymore. It is not something that tends to get thrown around, unless you are in advertising or you live in an Amish village and actually “craft” things by hand.

Today, we say things have a nice, sleek design or are very modern and cool looking. There is no artistry behind the object, or none that we can see. The word “craftsmanship” has an artist behind it. It tells us a story. It is indigo and red granite. It is that time you stayed up all night and watched the sun rise. It is that kick in the heart when you hear the national anthem sung by forty thousand people in unison.

 Craftsmanship is honor earned. It is true, because it is human. It is ours.

Today, craftsmanship does not have a reputation anymore. Today, we look at the numbers, notice our employee turnover and demand more drug testing. We demand to know why so many of our retained employees have tested positive once or twice on their screening tests. Should we change company policy in order to reduce employee turnover? Would that increase the turnover rate, instead? 

Perhaps we need to use different drug test kits. Let’s look online for a good company which distributes drug test equipment all over Australia.

 And we get on the computer. And we look up a company which might bring us better numbers. Craftsmanship? We turn our heads away and think about alcohol breathalyser devices. Who offers a breathalyser recalibration service? We’ll go with CMM Technology. They seem like a good company.

We ignore the word “craftsmanship.” It means nothing to us. We believe in our charts and our expense reports and our business bottom line and who is taking a vacation on what days. Is there someone who can come in and cover for them? Sure, there are few employees who can take their place while they are away with their families. What about the company taxes? Where is the latest tax report?

And little does anyone guess what craftsmanship was put into the drug testing products which will be delivered to your door from CMM Technology.

Circles of Blame

During the course of your career, you will find many people who blame you for things and who you blame, as well. Now, blame is in itself not a bad thing. Sometimes, you need to hold people responsible for their actions and to make sure that they do their work and do not leave you in the lurch. Also, you may need to understand how your actions have affected others, so blame may be applicable to you.

However, many people, especially in leadership roles, view teams as teams, and they do not wish to hear how someone did their job while other people did not. Often, it is clear if there is an obvious winner or someone who has done a particularly creative thing, and this will come out over the long haul. The little things, however, need to be tamed into submission. There must not be pettiness and silly rivalries within a team. Each member must contribute what they do best.

In the case of our drug test equipment, CMM Technology feels like a member of a global team. We provide high quality drug test kits, like our Medix integrated pro-split cup 6+6, and alcohol breathalyser devices, such as our Lifeloc FC10 breathalyser, to businesses all over Australia.

There are so many things to explore and do.

Let us make your business a safer place to work and to interact with other cultures from. Allow us the honor and privilege of helping you hold on to your way to further growth and more revenues. We are one of the leading companies in Australia dealing in drug testing equipment.

Be a Team Player

In every big movie hit about any type of group effort, there are always problems between individuals until the team captain or office manager or whoever is in charge actually starts building the team together as a single unit.

Teams are powerful tools to utilize, since they can do what individual people cannot. The saying that two heads are better than one is almost always true, and team efforts can be really functional or really dysfunctional. When sending your staff in for employee drug testing, you obviously are not going to make many friends doing this. There is an inherent human resistance to being told what to do, and it is part of our culture to have a problem with too many privacy violations. However, it is still one of the most effective ways to cut down on liability due to employee negligence. For this reason, you would be hard pressed to find a better solution to accidents and injuries on the jobsite.

Our Medix integrated pro-split cup 6+6 is a great urine drug test which has an adulterant test built right in. This cuts cost and time when evaluating for any adulterants used when giving a urine sample. It’s an automatic test for cheaters.

You want your staff fit for duty. You want to be able to administer your saliva drug tests and breathalyser devices without worrying about the consequences. For that, you need reliable testing devices. Administering these tests is definitely part of being a team player. You are protecting a group of individuals who rely upon you to keep things neat and orderly. You make a difference in their lives in a positive way. This is part of working with a team, instead of against it. You cannot do better than that.

CMM Technology provides this high quality drug test equipment for your business, and we ship all over Australia. Any time you are looking to be a team player you are protecting and guarding company assets. Such active choices involve careful planning and forethought. In order to make things a little bit easier on yourself, call CMM Technology today and let us help with the equipment delivery.
