Editing Drug test (section)

===Australia===
A person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU—the new term that includes employers) has duties under the work health and safety (WHS) legislation to ensure a worker affected by alcohol or other drugs does not place themselves or other persons at risk of injury while at work. Workplace policies and prevention programs can help change the norms and culture around substance use.<ref>{{Cite web |last=NSW |first=SafeWork |date=2018-09-10 |title=PCBU |url=https://www.safework.nsw.gov.au/about-us/glossary/glossary-acordion/pcbu |access-date=2022-10-21 |website=SafeWork NSW |language=en-AU |archive-date=October 21, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221021172712/https://www.safework.nsw.gov.au/about-us/glossary/glossary-acordion/pcbu |url-status=live }}</ref>

All organisations—large and small—can benefit from an agreed policy on alcohol and drug misuse that applies to all workers. Such a policy should form part of an organisations overall health and safety management system. PCBUs are encouraged to establish a policy and procedure, in consultation with workers, to constructively manage alcohol and other drug related hazards in their workplace.  A comprehensive workplace alcohol and other drug policy should apply to everyone in the workplace and include prevention, education, counselling and rehabilitation arrangements. In addition, the roles and responsibilities of managers and supervisors should be clearly outlined.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Work-Related Alcohol And Drug Use |url=https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/system/files/documents/1702/workrelatedalcoholanddruguse_afitforworkissue_2007_pdf.pdf |access-date=October 21, 2022 |archive-date=October 21, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221021172721/https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/system/files/documents/1702/workrelatedalcoholanddruguse_afitforworkissue_2007_pdf.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>

In February 2016 a New South Wales magistrate "acquitted a man who tested positive for cannabis". He had been arrested and charged after testing positive during a roadside drug test, despite not having smoked for nine days. He was relying on advice previously given to him by police.<ref name="abc.net.au2016-02-02-man-caught">{{cite web
