At RSS Infrastructure, as part of Auctus Management Group, we are proud to be leading the introduction of Intelligent Fingerprint Sweat Drug Testing across the rail and light rail sectors.
Demand is building rapidly following successful rollouts across multiple sites and outstanding client feedback. Several clients have already requested additional systems, helping to create a real snowball effect across the sector.
We are also excited to announce that Monica Barbosa and Leanda Waring will be showcasing the technology at Rail Live 2025, highlighting our role as innovators in workplace safety and compliance.
So, what’s driving this momentum? It’s the simple, practical benefits — centred around testing fingerprint sweat for fast, accurate, and non-invasive results.
Fast, Accurate Results from Fingerprint Sweat Testing
Unlike traditional drug testing methods that rely on urine, saliva, or blood samples, Intelligent Fingerprint testing works by analysing the tiny amounts of sweat naturally present on the fingertips.
This method offers a fast, reliable indicator of recent drug use, producing results within minutes at the point of testing. There’s no waiting for lab analysis, no need to send samples away, and no uncertainty — managers and safety teams can make immediate, informed decisions to keep projects moving safely and efficiently.
The ability to get accurate results so quickly is a major step forward for rail and infrastructure projects, where time, safety, and operational continuity are critical.
Reduced Downtime and Site Disruption
Every minute of downtime matters in the rail industry. Traditional testing can mean employees leave site, travel to a clinic, and wait for laboratory results — causing disruption, delays, and added costs.
Fingerprint Sweat Drug Testing eliminates these barriers. Its portable, easy-to-use system enables testing to happen directly on site — whether that’s trackside, at a depot, or in a compound.
Employees can be tested, cleared, and returned to work within minutes, dramatically reducing downtime and keeping critical infrastructure projects on schedule.
This streamlined process protects productivity and supports better compliance monitoring without interrupting daily operations.
Simple, Non-Invasive Testing Experience
One of the key benefits of fingerprint sweat testing is how non-invasive and straightforward it is compared to traditional methods.
Rather than needing private spaces, supervised collection, or biological waste handling, the process simply requires individuals to press their fingertips onto a small collection cartridge. The device captures the natural sweat present on the skin surface, which is then analysed for drug metabolites.
There is no discomfort, no embarrassment, and no complex procedures — making the experience faster, cleaner, and more dignified for employees, while maintaining high standards of accuracy and reliability.
This simple, discreet process is especially valuable for busy rail environments, where ease of use is crucial for consistent compliance and workforce cooperation.
No Need for Specialist Facilities
Another major advantage of Intelligent Fingerprint testing is that it does not require any specialist testing facilities.
Tests can be carried out anywhere, whether on remote sites, in mobile welfare units, or on busy urban projects, making it a perfect fit for the highly dynamic and mobile nature of rail and infrastructure work.
Without the need for dedicated rooms or external labs, businesses can implement comprehensive drug testing programmes flexibly, cost-effectively, and without slowing down operations.
A Growing Movement in the Sector
Thanks to these practical advantages, Intelligent Fingerprint Sweat Drug Testing is rapidly gaining traction across the sector.
With excellent feedback from early adopters like CRSA and SRSA, and with more systems now being deployed, it’s clear that the industry is ready for smarter, faster, and more employee-friendly testing solutions.
Our showcase at Rail Live 2025 will be a key opportunity to demonstrate this innovation to a wider audience — and to show how adopting this technology can help organisations enhance safety, improve compliance, and reduce operational disruption.
Shaping the Future of Workplace Safety
Fingerprint Sweat Drug Testing represents a significant shift in how we approach workforce safety — offering fast, accurate results, minimal disruption, and simple, dignified testing processes.
At Auctus Management Group, supported by RSS Infrastructure, we are proud to be leading this change, helping organisations across rail and light rail realise the practical benefits of smarter workplace drug testing.
Momentum is growing — and this is only the beginning.
