Time for Change Survey and Report

51 ● Support also varied between genders, with significantly less support among gender- diverse people than female-identifying people, and less support among male- identifying respondents compared to female respondents. ● Interestingly, QLD residents expressed higher support for workplace testing compared to non-QLD residents. ● Family members of people who use drugs also showed higher levels of support in comparison to people who did not identify this way. However, there was significantly lower support across other groups, including respondents who identified as people who use drugs, professionals, or students and/or young people. Recommendation #23 We recommend that workplace drug testing be restricted to roles involving high-risk machinery or safety-sensitive tasks and that workplace drug testing policies are evidence- based, proportionate, and focused on workplace safety rather than punitive measures. This approach will protect workers' rights while maintaining safety in risk-prone environments.
