FAQ

What is a Polygraph Test

It is a test used to verify a person’s truthfulness and is often called a ‘Lie Detector Test.’
What is the Polygraph Instrument?

The polygraph is an instrument that measures some of the physiological changes that take place in the human body when a person tells a lie. It is sometimes referred to as a “lie detector”. The term “polygraph” originates from the Greek language and literally means “many tracings”. This sets it apart from other less accurate devices that only measure one reaction, as opposed to the polygraph’s measuring of multiple reactions, allowing for proper comparison and evaluation.
How does the Polygraph Work?

A polygraph instrument collects physiological data from at least three systems of the human body. Pneumograph tubes are placed over the examinee’s chest and abdominal area to record breathing patterns. Finger plates are attached to the fingers to record sweat gland activity. A blood pressure cuff will record cardiovascular activity. The reactions are charted by the polygraph instrument and reflected on charts printed from the recordings. When a person answers questions during a polygraph examinations the examiner will monitor for a set of physiological reactions which have been correlated to the act of being deceptive on a statistically significant level. These changes can thus accurately indicate whether a person is being truthful or not.
Does nervousness affect the examination results?

The polygraph technique allows for the level of a person’s general nervous tension. Most individuals will be nervous before and during a polygraph examination. However, this only affects the level from which recordings are made and does not affect the result of the examination, i.e. although the level of nervousness will affect the individual’s physiological baseline, it will not affect the variations on the baseline and consequently the result of the examination.
Reasons to use Polygraph

· To maintain general honesty and integrity · To corroborate evidence · To exonerate the innocent · To locate hidden evidence · To verify or discredit alibis · For pre employment screening · To combat substance abuse · A powerful tool in disciplinary hearings · For peace of mind
When is the Employer permitted to use the Polygraph

Generally, employers are permitted to use the polygraph to investigate specific incidents where— Employees had access to the property which is the subject of the investigation; There is a reasonable suspicion that the employee was involved in the incident; There has been economic loss or injury to the employer’s business like theft of company property; The employer is combating dishonesty in positions of trust; The employer is combating serious alcohol, illegal drugs or narcotics abuse and fraudulent behaviour within the company; The employer is combating deliberate falsification of documents and lies regarding true identity of the people involved.
Procedures followed during an examination:

A typical polygraph examination will include periods referred to as a pre-test phase, a chart collection phase, post- test phase and a test analysis phase. This procedure usually takes one to one and a half hours. § In the pre-test phase, the polygraph examiner will complete required paperwork and explain the theory of the polygraph in an understandable way to the examinee. The examinees will be given the opportunity to discuss their roles or perceptions regarding the case under investigation and provide relevant information. During this period, the examiner will discuss the questions to be asked and familiarise the examinee with the testing procedure. § During the chart collection phase, the examiner will administer the examination and collect a number of polygraph charts. No questions will be asked during the examination that have not been discussed and reviewed with the examinee. § In the post-test phase, the examiner will analyse the charts and render an opinion as to the truthfulness of the person taking the test. The examiner, when appropriate, will offer the examinee an opportunity to explain physiological responses in relation to any questions asked during the examination.
Confidentiality of polygraph examinations

Every effort is made to ensure the privacy and security of an examinee or client’s information. All files are restricted to those immediately involved in the procedure. The results of an examination or even the fact that an examination was conducted is carefully guarded information. Only the individual sponsoring the examination (and others as may be required by due process of law) is entitled to the facts concerning the results.

What is the Status of Polygraph Test at CCMA

Polygraphists have been accepted as expert witnesses whose evidence needs to be tested for reliability. The duty of the commissioner is to determine the admissibility and reliability of the evidence. Polygraph test may not be interpreted as implying guilt but may be regarded as an aggravating factor especially where there is other evidence of misconduct. In other words, polygraph test results, on their own, are not a basis for a finding of guilt. It can be used only in support of other evidence.
Is there any Law controlling the use of Polygraph in South Africa

Polygraph testing is a fairly new concept in South Africa, especially in disputes relating to employment relationships. There is no legislation at this point to control the use of the test or to protect the employee’s right against the abuse of the test.
