Ensuring Safety in Oil & Gas & Other High-Risk Industries: A Call to Action
Selangor, 23 Jul 2025 – Substance abuse poses a serious risk to safety, productivity, and reputation—especially in critical sectors such as oil and gas, construction, and manufacturing. A comprehensive, zero-tolerance drug policy supported by reliable drug screening kit is no longer optional— it is a corporate responsibility.
AADK and SPRM Strengthen Commitment to Drug-Free Workplaces
On 11 April 2025, the National Anti-Drugs Agency (AADK) and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (SPRM) formalized their ongoing collaboration by signing a renewed Nota Kerjasama (Memorandum of Understanding) under the Program Tempat Kerja Bebas Dadah (TEKAD) for five years (2025-2030).

This strategic move marks a significant milestone in reinforcing workplace drug prevention, governance, and integrity within enforcement agencies. By renewing their joint commitment, both AADK and SPRM are setting a national example for how government and private organizations can cultivate safer, drug-free, and more accountable working environments.
Private organizations—particularly those in high-risk industries—are encouraged to follow their lead in safeguarding their workforce and operations from the detrimental effects of drug abuse.
