When drug or alcohol impairment is suspected in the workplace, or after an accident or incident, the employer needs to act quickly and in a legally robust way. Provsvaret offers drug and alcohol testing for workplaces, with laboratory verification and medical review where needed.
A chain of custody that holds up before the Labour Court (AD).
GC-MS/LC-MS-MS confirms results in 1–2 days.
Cross-reactions and medical explanations are ruled out.
The line manager documents specific observations in writing: time, place, behaviour, witnesses. This is the foundation of a legally sound process.
The employee is immediately removed from safety-critical work – on paid time. This is a work environment measure, not a punishment.
The employee is offered a test in accordance with your communicated policy. A refusal is handled according to the policy's rules.
Immediate rapid test; positive results are sent to the laboratory for GC-MS/LC-MS-MS confirmation.
An MRO physician reviews for medical explanations. A structured meeting follows a confirmed positive result – read our guide on action plans.
Drug and alcohol testing may be relevant after a workplace accident or incident, particularly in organisations where safety, the work environment or responsibility towards third parties carries significant weight.
For-cause testing may become relevant in the event of specific observations such as a smell of alcohol, unsteadiness, slurred speech, severely reduced capacity to work or clearly changed behaviour.
Testing can form part of a structured return-to-work programme after rehabilitation, with planned and clearly defined follow-up tests.
Testing may be justified when an event poses a risk to colleagues, customers, patients or other third parties, particularly in roles with high responsibility or safety-critical duties.
A structured action plan with confirmatory analysis, MRO review, a meeting with the employee and a rehabilitation assessment. Details in our guide: action plan after a positive drug test.

Specific observations of impairment: odour, unsteady gait, slurred speech, changed behaviour, reduced capacity to work – or following a specific incident or accident. A subjective feeling without documented observations is not sufficient.
Provsvaret can support you during ongoing incidents with express analyses, MRO review and advice. Get in touch directly and we will coordinate.
