NSC National Safety Council Report - Impairment Detection Technology

Impairment from chemical substances, fatigue, medical conditions, mental distress, and other factors can present a fitness for duty concern as well as impact employee wellbeing. The broad range of signs and symptoms presented by all of these underlying causes of impairment makes impairment detection technology (IDT) an attractive safety solution for employers. NSC defines IDT as technology with the potential to screen for multiple forms of impairment to aid in fitness for work assessments.
