Workplace Action on AlcoholWorkplace Action on Alcohol
Employers have a legitimate interest in drug and alcohol use amongst their employees in a restricted set of circumstances only. These circumstances are:
(i) where employees are engaging in illegal activities in the workplace;
(ii) where employees are actually intoxicated in work hours;
(iii) where drug or alcohol use is (otherwise) having a demonstrable impact on employees' performance that goes beyond a threshold of acceptability;
(iv) where the nature of the work is such that any responsible employer would be expected to take all reasonable steps to minimise the risk of accident;
(v) where the nature of the work is such that the public is entitled to expect a higher than average standard of behaviour from employees and/or there is a risk of vulnerability to corruption (for example, in the police or prison service).

The NVAB is of the opinion that tests in which the company doctor is
involved should only take place on industrial medical grounds. If
agreements have been made between the employer and the
representation of the employees about random tests for risk
functions, then this does not need to be contradictory with the
fundamental issue of industrial medical grounds.
The registered company doctor determines the grounds on the basis of
his professional expertise and may in some cases appeal to the
privilege of non-disclosure if to his judgement no industrial medical
grounds can be established.
