How Naujosios Akmenės Komunalininkas Reduced Risks and Administrative Work by Automating Sobriety Control
The company employs workers with varying experience levels, which increases the risk of alcohol-related incidents during working hours. Previously, one designated person was responsible for sobriety checks, but the process was inefficient — testing took significant time, and due to shifting work schedules, not all employees were checked regularly. There was also a lack of accountability and reliable data.
The company needed a solution that would automate the process, reduce human error, and maintain a consistently high safety standard. The key deciding factors were the simplicity, mobility, and functionality of the Worksober system — a solution that required no complex installation or lengthy training.
The company implemented a mobile Worksober device installed near the changing facilities, with the flexibility to move it to remote sites when necessary. Employees working at the main base are tested twice daily — before starting and after finishing their shifts. In remote workplaces, testing is performed selectively, roughly once a month.
Thanks to its mobility, the device adapts easily to different working conditions. The system also records work time, helping to generate more accurate attendance logs and reducing administrative workload.
After implementing the Worksober solution, the company noticed clear improvements:
- Improved discipline: a consistent sobriety testing routine encourages accountability.
- Reduced administrative workload: no need for manual testing or data entry.
- Eliminated intoxication risks: significantly reducing the likelihood of alcohol use at work.
- Increased transparency: managers have real-time visibility into employee status and can make objective decisions.
- Strengthened managerial confidence: the system operates reliably and became a trusted part of daily workflow management.
The experience of Naujosios Akmenės Komunalininkas demonstrates that clear processes and the right technology can ensure order, safety, and smooth daily operations.
“Perfect — the system is clear, convenient, and mobile, allowing easy use across multiple sites. Discipline has improved, administrative work has decreased, and most importantly, we can ensure our employees are sober at work. I recommend it to any company that values safety.”
