PT KAI Operational Area (Daop) 8 Surabaya held random drug tests on several train facilities (ASP) crews to ensure the safety and smooth running of the train during the Eid Al-Fitr 2024 transportation period. KAI Daop 8 Surabaya Public Relations Manager Luqman Arif, said that in addition to the train facilities crew who had undergone a series of rigorous assessments, workers from the operational department must also be required to have competence and responsibility in their duties.

"Drug tests were carried out in secret and there was no prior notification and 60 workers were followed in two places, namely the Daop 8 Surabaya Office and Malang Station," said Luqman, Thursday, March 28, Luqman, explaining that the ASP who underwent drug tests consisted of the driver, assistant driver, conductor, train technician, polsuska, and workers in the operational department. "With this drug test activity, KAI Daop 8 Surabaya ensures that the officers who serve are truly in good health and have no influence on narcotics abuse. Because they are the frontline of the company that serves customers directly," he said. Luqman Arif added, if there are officers who are declared positive, then a more in-depth examination will be carried out.

"Is it indeed the result of drug abuse or the effect of the doctor's prescription drug being consumed," he said. In the drug test, he continued, there were six parameters used in urine test kits to determine the content of Amphetamine (AMP), Morphine/Opiate (MOP), Mariyuana (THC), Cocaine (COC), Methamphetamine (MET) and Benzoidazepine (BZD).

"From the results of this examination, overall participants have negative results on the urine test kit. This is proof that KAI Daop 8 Surabaya workers are free from narcotics abuse," said Luqman. In addition to tests, he said, ASPs also received socialization provided by BNN about the dangers and consequences arising from narcotics abuse, psychotropics and illegal drugs (NAPZA).
