About Us

We Do Things Differently
Many companies in the UK offer workplace drug testing, but most stop at delivering tests, they tick a box, report results, and leave it there. We take a different approach. At First Cohort Incorporated Ltd, we believe there’s a smarter, fairer way to manage workplace substance misuse.

 

Our Better Testing model doesn’t just identify problems, it provides solutions that protect your business, support your employees, and build a safer, stronger workplace.

​

Why We Do It
Our mission is simple: to make workplaces safer, smarter, and more supportive. Substance misuse can affect safety, productivity, and morale, but we know that the right approach can prevent issues before they escalate.

 

The Better Testing model gives businesses a clear, legal-compliant, and practical way to manage substance misuse while supporting employees who may need help. It’s not just about compliance, it’s about creating a culture where safety, well-being, and accountability go hand in hand.

​
