Reality TV contestants tested to meet safeguarding standards

Challenge

A production company approached us ahead of filming a residential reality TV show. Given that contestants would be living together for an extended period, it was crucial to ensure that no participant was dependent on drugs or alcohol. To meet safeguarding standards and ensure a safe filming environment, comprehensive drug and alcohol testing was required before production commenced.

Solution

We conducted pre-filming drug and alcohol tests on all contestants, ensuring that they were free from substances that could impact their participation or the well-being of others in the house. Our testing methods provided a reliable sectional analysis of each contestant’s substance use history, allowing the production team to make informed decisions based on their results.

Result

The tests ensured that all participants met the necessary standards for the show, allowing production to proceed with confidence. This process not only safeguarded the contestants but also protected the integrity of the show and its duty of care responsibilities. By implementing rigorous testing protocols, the production company was able to create a secure and fair environment for all involved.


At Cansford Labs, we work with industries of all kinds to provide reliable, discreet drug and alcohol testing. Whether for legal cases, workplace safety, or media production, our services support responsible practices.
