Frequently asked questions
What is the best breathalyzer for workplace alcohol testing?
The best workplace breathalyzer depends on where you test. Wall-mounted breathalyzers such as the Soberlive FRX, which adds facial recognition, suit gates and entrances, while portable breathalyzers such as the Andatech Prodigy 3, which records each test with camera and GPS, suit spot checks and vehicles. All Andatech workplace breathalyzers are certified to Australian Standard AS3547.
Can employers test staff for alcohol in Malaysia?
Many Malaysian employers test staff for alcohol under a written drug and alcohol policy that workers know and agree to. The Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 (Section 15) and the DOSH Code of Practice (2005) support policies that prevent alcohol and drug problems at work. Check your employment contracts with your HR or legal adviser before you start.
How do we test a whole shift without slowing work down?
A wall-mounted breathalyzer at the entrance tests each worker in seconds as they arrive, so a full shift can be tested without slowing the line. Portable breathalyzers cover spot checks on the floor and pre-trip checks for drivers.
How do we keep records of workplace breathalyzer results?
Andalink collects every breath test from every site in one dashboard and emails your manager when a result is over the limit. Andalink works with the Andatech Soberlive FRX and Prodigy 3, so you keep a complete record of workplace alcohol testing for audits.
How often do workplace breathalyzers need calibration?
Workplace breathalyzers need calibration every 12 months. Andatech Malaysia calibrates them at its local office and keeps a 12-month calibration schedule, so your results stay accurate and your records stay audit-ready.
What alcohol limit should a workplace testing policy use?
Your policy sets the limit. Many employers set a stricter limit than the legal driving limit of 22 µg per 100 ml of breath, including zero, for safety-critical roles. Write the limit, when testing happens and what follows a result over the limit into your drug and alcohol policy, and make sure every worker has read it.
Does Andatech carry out alcohol testing at our workplace?
No. Andatech Malaysia supplies the breathalyzers and advises on your policy and testing process, so your own team or your chosen provider can run the tests. We also calibrate your breathalyzers at our local office.
