Auctus Management Group recently supported Croydon Tram in transforming its workplace drug and alcohol testing processes through the integration of the Intelligent Fingerprinting drug testing system. Delivered by Auctus’s in-house Drug & Alcohol Testing Team, the programme provided a faster, more accurate, and non-invasive alternative to traditional methods—improving compliance and empowering Croydon Tram to conduct in-house testing independently.
The initiative was led by Leanda Waring, who oversaw the delivery of on-site training and hands-on support, ensuring a smooth and successful transition.
What Is Fingerprint Drug Testing?
The Intelligent Fingerprinting drug testing system uses sweat from the fingertips, collected via a tamperproof cartridge, to screen for recent use of substances such as cannabis, cocaine, opiates, and methamphetamine. The system delivers results in under 10 minutes and requires no specialist clinical facilities—making it a flexible and discreet solution ideal for rail, construction, and other safety-critical environments.
This approach supports both regulatory compliance and a dignified testing experience for staff.
Project Summary: Supporting Safety and Self-Sufficiency
The Auctus Management Group team worked closely with Croydon Tram to integrate the new system across their organisation. The programme’s success was built on a combination of expert consultation, practical training, and ongoing support.
Key Deliverables:
- Delivered training to 18 Croydon Tram staff, enabling them to conduct testing in-house.
- Provided step-by-step guidance on setting up and operating the Intelligent Fingerprinting system.
- Supported the creation of a self-managed testing process that aligned with Croydon Tram’s safety protocols.
The result is a compliant, cost-effective, and autonomous testing system that enhances operational flexibility while supporting a zero-tolerance safety culture.
