Many organisations have invested heavily in safety management systems, yet Fitness-for-duty is still handled separately or not measured consistently. Drug and alcohol programs often sit outside core safety platforms, while functional impairment from fatigue, illness, stress, or psychosocial hazards is rarely assessed routinely, or recorded in a consistent, auditable way
HSI Donesafe and Neopharma Technologies Ltd have announced a partnership to address this gap by embedding Fitness-for-duty workflows directly into the Donesafe platform.
Under an API integration roadmap, Neopharma’s NEOVAULT® workflows will sit inside Donesafe’s modular ecosystem, allowing organisations to manage drug and alcohol testing and functional impairment assessments within the same workflows used for safety reporting, actions, governance, and close out. The integration replaces fragmented checks with connected controls, improving oversight across sites, contractors, and safety critical roles, while strengthening audit trails and officer due diligence.
“By working with Neopharma, we’re helping our customers manage impairment risks in a way that is practical and defensible. Our focus is on reducing the real risks that lead to serious incidents,” said Louise Minty, Partnerships Manager at HSI Donesafe.
Fitness-for-duty as an operational workflow
NEOVAULT® is Neopharma’s digital workflow, reporting, and chain of custody enterprise platform for workplace drug and alcohol programs. Integrated with DRUID®, it provides a single Fitness-for-duty system that records assessments, decisions, and follow up actions in one auditable workflow.
DRUID® is a one minute functional impairment assessment that measures cognitive and psychomotor performance. It identifies elevated impairment risk for follow up under policy without diagnosing cause. Each person’s results are compared to their own baseline over time to identify meaningful changes in performance.
When used within Donesafe workflows, these assessments link directly to actions, governance, and close out. This reduces manual handling, supports consistent policy application, shortens response times, and improves defensibility when decisions are reviewed.
“Fatigue, psychosocial risk, and Fitness-for-duty are now board level issues,” said Shaun Melville, Executive Director at Neopharma Technologies Ltd. “Fitness-for-duty is not just a policy. It is a workflow. This integration connects assessments, actions, and reporting in one system, improving visibility while reducing administrative load for supervisors and safety teams.”
Why this matters now
Australian WHS laws place clear duties on PCBUs and officers to manage safety critical risks, with significant penalties including personal liability for failures. At the same time, regulators and boards are paying closer attention to psychosocial hazards, fatigue, impairment, and drug and alcohol controls. Increasingly, the expectation is objective controls with a clear audit trail that can withstand scrutiny. As a result, organisations are looking for Fitness-for-duty systems that are objective, documented, auditable, and embedded within existing safety governance frameworks.
