Many Canadian organizations in a wide variety of industry sectors are concerned about alcohol and drug use patterns and the need to take appropriate steps to deal with employees who may be impaired on the job. Many have provided assistance programs to help those with current or emerging alcohol or drug problems. Some have work rules around alcohol and drug use, while others may have some reference to “fitness for duty” requirements in a Health and Safety policy. However, many employers are recognizing that this may not be enough to minimize safety risk and associated liabilities. They are implementing comprehensive policies and supplementing their approach with alcohol and drug testing under certain circumstances.
There have not been a significant number of surveys on drug use patterns in Canada; however, we do have some data that suggest that, among the general population, overall substance use is at levels that lead to unacceptable impacts on health and safety, resulting in high social and financial cost to Canadians. The Canadian Alcohol and Drug Use Monitoring Survey 2012 provides the most recent survey information on alcohol and drug use patterns for Canadian adults (aged 15 and older). The following highlights are of interest:
• Alcohol is by far the most prevalent substance used by Canadian adults; the most recent national survey found the following: - 78.4% of Canadian adults reported being current drinkers (past year); - males are more likely than females to be current drinkers, to exceed the low-risk drinking guidelines, and report harms from drinking; and - reported current use in BC is slightly lower than national patterns (78.1%).
• Marijuana continues to be the illicit drug of choice. The same survey found the following: - 10.2% of Canadians report being current marijuana users (up from 9.1% in 2011); - males (13.7%) remain more likely than females (7.0%) to be current users; - 20.3% of those aged 15–24 report being current users, as do those 8.4% of those 25+; - 11.3% of Canadians reported using any drug (including pharmaceuticals) to get high in the past year, with males more likely (15.2%) than females (7.7%); - 38.7% of current users reported harm to self as a result of use; and - reported current cannabis use in BC is the highest in Canada at 13.8%, and reported use of any drug was the highest at 14.9%. To put the Canadian situation into perspective, the International Narcotics Control Board’s 2011 report (March 2012) confirmed that prescription drug abuse is a significant problem in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The amount of cocaine entering Canada from the U.S. annually has more than doubled in the last five years. Most of the cannabis produced in Canada is consumed within the country, although some is sent to the United States. Canada remains a significant manufacturer of ecstasy (which, although primarily intended for domestic use, is increasingly being trafficked to the United States, as well as expanding markets such as Australia, Japan and New Zealand); the market is now expanding to Asia, the Caribbean and Mexico.
A significant number of employers, primarily with operations considered to be “safety-sensitive,” are introducing alcohol and drug policies focused on fitness for work and minimizing risk of accidents and injuries. Court and ar bitration decisions have confirmed that employers do not need “proof” of a problem before taking proactive steps in this area to ensure workplace and public safety. Unlike the United States and some of the European countries, the Canadian government has decided not to issue regulations requiring policies and testing in certain industry sectors, nor has it provided guidance on how to deal appropriately with workplace drug use. As a result, there is no guidance on appropriate policies/programs, nor any Canadian standards or procedures for the testing process. Based on a number of rulings and human rights commission policies, there has been guidance available on the need for assessment and appropriate accommodation for individuals who have a diagnosed dependency, although a finite point to “undue hardship” remains unclear. Much of the direction of Canadian policies and testing programs is drawn from interpretation of a variety of legal decisions issued over the last 10–15 years.
The primary impetus for programs in Canada came initially in the transportation and oil and gas sectors. In the mid- 1990s, cross-border truck and bus drivers were regulated by the U.S. government in the absence of Canadian regulatory direction. Companies were obliged to have comprehensive alcohol and drug testing programs (including pre-employment and random testing) in place as a condition of operating in the United States. Most felt obliged, for health and safety reasons, to extend their policies to all employees (although not the random testing requirement).
A key human rights decision (Autocar Connaisseur), as well as changes in the position of various human rights commissions in this area, are causing some companies to rethink maintaining this differentiation. In particular, the most recent policy of the Federal Human Rights Commission has allowed for testing as a condition of qualification for a safety-sensitive position, as part of a reasonable cause or post-incident investigation, in a post-treatment situation to support continue recovery, and as a condition of continued employment after a policy violation. The Commission policy also allows for random alcohol and drug testing for truck and bus drivers whether regulated by the U.S. government or not. It also notes that a case could be made for random testing of other safetysensitive positions as long as a bona fide occupational requirement can be established.
Parallel to this activity in transportation, after the Exxon Valdez incident off the coast of Alaska in the late 1980s, many companies in the oil and gas sector began to introduce comprehensive policies, with testing triggered in a number of circumstances. The Exxon subsidiary in Canada (Imperial Oil) also introduced random testing, but it was not widely embraced by other Canadian companies in this sector. Most of them had programs in place by the mid 1990s and many have reviewed and updated these programs in recent years as the legal situation around testing has become clearer.
They have also extended their requirements to contract workers. In Northern Alberta, the Construction Owner’s Association of Alberta, in conjunction with contractors and unions, created a “Model” to help guide contractors in setting their own policies in this area. It sets out core standards around fitness for work, and alcohol and other drug use and possession, as well as provisions for reasonable cause and post-incident testing, and is supported through education, training, and an opportunity for members in contravention of the rules to get assistance for a problem and be reassigned to the site. Reference to site access and random testing is in the most recent version of the Model. Further revisions were underway in 2014.
As more and more of the site owners have required siteaccess testing before a contract worker can begin a job, sites in northern Alberta have been experiencing delays in getting people on the job. As a result, an additional program was developed called the Rapid Site Access Program (RSAP). It does not take the place of the Model, but supplements it. It is a voluntary program through which a worker can pass a drug test and be put in a random “pool” through which he or she can be tested at any time. Owners that have accepted the program will waive the site-access requirement provided the worker’s status remains “active.” Should someone refuse or fail a test, they are sent for an assessment to determine whether there is a dependency; the worker would be expected to comply with any recommended treatment, and would be subject to a monitoring program for a specific period of time on returning to active status. In addition, a pilot program that would implement random testing on a more extensive basis is expected to be implemented on a number of these northern Alberta sites once further clarity is received from the courts on the conditions under which it can be introduced (the Drug and Alcohol Risk Reduction Pilot Project or DARRPP).
A similar direction has been taken in the B.C. and Saskatchewan construction industries. In order to minimize safety risk and liabilities, Canadian employers in many other industry sectors are implementing alcohol and drug policies that establish appropriate standards around possession and use, offer education, training and access to assistance, provide methods to investigate policy violations, and set out consequences for violation. They also set out minimum requirements that contractors must meet when doing their work. One investigative tool to which many are now turning for detection and deterrence is alcohol and drug testing. The most active areas are in higher-risk industries, including forestry, mining, manufacturing and warehousing, other transportation (not affected by the cross-border requirements), utilities, construction, policing, municipal transit, etc. Some municipalities and health care facilities are taking steps to address the issue as well.
There are a number of key areas that policies must address, and several difficult decisions that need to be made. The first step is to establish a background to the specific policy decisions that follow. There are some valid reasons for taking a “two-step” process. The courts/arbitrators/human rights tribunals have found that the reasons for establishing the policy — the thought patterns that go behind it — are just as important as the policy components themselves.
The policy should meet the standard set out by the Supreme Court to establish a bona fide occupational requirement for introducing the policy, as well as for introducing certain requirements (e.g., testing) or having higher standards for safety-sensitive or other designated positions or designated locations. The process should involve consultation with representatives from key parts of the organization, and ensure that the policy ultimately implemented results from an assessment of the organization’s specific requirements and responds to those requirements. This would include the following:
• identifying all current practices, policies and services, including provisions in OH & S manuals, the collective agreement, employee benefit programs, etc.;
• ensuring the policy builds from this base;
• identifying gaps or missing pieces;
• determining what can be improved and ensuring the policy addresses this;
• assessing the degree of risk in the operations, identifying any past problems or incidents;
• looking at external factors, including recent legal decisions, trends and practices of others in the industry, general information on use patterns, impacts and effective solutions;
• identifying likely stakeholder expectations and how conflicting expectations will be handled; and
• setting out overall objectives for the program (which will be a foundation for its implementation).
Various adjudicators have indicated that simply putting in place a policy copied from a U.S. parent or someone else in the industry will not meet the Supreme Court test. There is no “typical” policy or program; if the steps above are followed, each program will reflect the unique corporate culture and values of the company, the fundamental aspects of the business it is in, the regulatory environment within which it must operate, and, most important, the specific program needs. However, there are a number of key areas that policies must address, and several difficult decisions that need to be tackled. And it should be clear throughout the following sections that assistance for those who may have a problem is an important part of a balanced approach.
Canadian companies cannot simply implement a testing program or policy. Testing may play a role as an investigation tool or deterrence tool, but must be part of a broader approach that includes the following:
1. Awareness and education programs, both at policy introduction and ongoing;
2. Access to assistance, through an internal or contracted employee assistance program or, as appropriate, community resources;
3. Training for supervisors in their role under the policy, including both performance management for early identification of potential problems, and appropriate steps to take to investigate a possible policy violation; and
4. A variety of tools to investigate if someone may be in violation of the policy.
Each of these components should be included in any company program. The policy statement itself should:
• be written in a user-friendly way and broadly communicated to all employees;
• provide clear direction on the objective and application (who is covered and under what circumstances);
• outline the applicable rules and responsibilities, including any higher standards for risk- or safety-sensitive positions;
• clarify avenues to access assistance, reinforce the importance of obtaining assistance for a problem before it impacts the workplace, and outline conditions for returning to duty, including aftercare provisions on a case-by-case basis;
• set out the procedures that will be followed to investigate a possible policy violation, (e.g., investigation and escort procedures if someone is unfit for work, accident investigation, impaired driving situations, searches, alcohol and drug testing); and
• set out consequences for a policy violation and any conditions for continued employment, including provisions for a Substance Abuse Professional assessment to determine whether the individual has a problem in need of accommodation.
In order to be effective, it must be carefully communicated so everyone knows what is expected of them and where to get assistance if they require it. Someone must be in charge of the overall program — usually called the Program Administrator — to ensure that consistent communications, education and training all take place, and who will contract for necessary external resources, including testing services, Employee Assistance Program or other counselling services, and Substance Abuse Professionals to provide specific assessments in a post-violation situation or if an employee requests help for a problem through the company.
Federal and provincial human rights legislation prohibits discrimination on the basis of a disability. Current or former dependence on alcohol or drugs is considered a disability under the federal act, and has been interpreted in the same manner at the provincial level. Issues around reasonable accommodation, and establishing a bona fide occupational requirement (bfor) for treating someone differently need to be addressed.
Prevention initiatives, including access to assessment, assistance, treatment and follow-up services, as well as modifying hours or duties in certain circumstances, would all contribute to accommodation responsibilities. Employee Assistance Programs (EAP), either internally provided or externally contracted, are an employee benefit in many larger organizations. With more and more companies of all sizes putting in place policies in recent years, there has been recognition of the need to provide broad-brush, confidential assistance programs for employees (and often for family members).
Most EAPs provide access to services provided by a variety of professionals, including psychologists, social workers and addiction specialists. Although not limited to addictions, these professionals can be one of the most effective tools in dealing with alcohol and other drug problems in the workplace. An effective EAP provides confidential assistance with problems that interfere with an employee’s ability to function on the job efficiently and safely, through prevention, identification, assessment and referral, as well as follow-up services. EAP services are normally accessed on a voluntary basis, although suggested referrals during the performance management process may also be triggered.
Although there have been professionals working in the field of substance abuse for many years, the concept of a “Substance Abuse Professional,” or SAP, has taken on a new meaning when it comes to workplace policies in recent years. SAP services are entirely separate and different from the counselling services provided by an EAP. A SAP referral is normally triggered under a company’s alcohol and drug policy when an employee violates stated rules regarding alcohol or drug use (e.g., use on the job, a positive test result, etc.) and becomes subject to discipline. The SAP must have knowledge of and clinical experience in the diagnosis and treatment of alcohol- and drug-related disorders. Due to human rights obligations to accommodate an individual with a drug or alcohol dependency, the SAP’s role is to:
• assess whether the individual has a dependency;
• make recommendations regarding education and/or treatment as appropriate;
• confirm that the recommended program is or was being followed; and
• recommend a return-to-duty monitoring program to support someone’s continued recovery and return to work (this often includes unannounced testing, particularly in higher-risk situations).
A more recent trend is to not wait for a policy violation to trigger a SAP referral. Predicated on a greater obligation to address potential safety risk, employers are increasingly making directed referrals for a SAP assessment in a performance management situation in which the employee specifically says they may have a problem with alcohol or drugs. In this case, and especially in situations in which the individual’s work is risk- or safety-sensitive, employers cannot ignore the situation. This is an opportunity to trigger an assessment and assistance for the problem. Failure to do so could present a safety risk to the individual and those with whom they work.
The key to this is understanding that the SAP’s responsibilities are separate and distinct from the counselling services provided through the EAP. Note that some programs refer to a Substance Abuse Expert (SAE), but the responsibilities and expectations of service should be the same. Finally, there is a direct conflict of interest if the organization providing the SAP assessment also profits from providing a treatment program or a testing program; one would have to question the objectiveness of an assessment when financial considerations are in play. Employers contracting for SAP services should ensure that this conflict of interest does not exist.
Health Canada no longer issues licences for individuals to possess or produce marijuana for medical purposes. Instead, they are regulating a commercial market of licensed producers responsible for the production and distribution for medical purposes. Patients do not obtain a prescription, but instead they receive documentation from a licensed medical practitioner that allows them to purchase it directly from a licensed producer. In a March 31, 2014 release, Health Canada stated, “Marijuana is not an approved drug or medicine in Canada and has not gone through the necessary rigorous scientific trials for efficacy or safety. Health Canada does not endorse the use of marijuana, but the courts have required reasonable access to a legal source of marijuana for medical purposes.” Health Canada also quoted experts outlining the significant side effects associated with use, not only with respect to negative health impacts, but also with respect to the skills needed to operate any vehicle or perform a task.
Employers should:
• ensure that their alcohol and drug policy is absolutely clear about a prohibition around the use of illicit drugs and alcohol in conjunction with work;
• set out the requirement for responsible use of medications, and the requirement to use a safe alternative wherever available; and
• expect employees to consult with their physician or pharmacist regarding the side effects of any medications being used, and require them to advise the company of any need for modified work.
Employers may find out about authorization to “use” directly from the employee or through a drug test. They will then need to determine if they can allow the employee to safely continue working in their regular job, or whether alternative work can be accommodated and for how long. In the case of medical marijuana use, it may well be that the authorizing physician offers no cautions, even for those operating vehicles and equipment; this is why a second, more knowledgeable medical opinion may be required from a doctor with an occupational health background (not simply the doctor who authorized the use). Legal advice may be needed regarding whether accommodation is possible and what that should look like. Employers have a duty to accommodate a medical condition up to undue hardship, but the question remains whether they have a duty to accommodate the choice of medication when use of marijuana presents a safety risk and there are alternative medications that can be used. There have been no legal cases impacting the workplace to date, so further direction is needed from arbitrators and human rights panels.
As noted, Canadian companies have taken the initiative to put in place comprehensive policies with a priority on workplace safety, including assessment and assistance provisions. For the most part, the testing procedures that have been adopted mirror those devel- oped in the U.S. governing Canadian cross-border drivers. Canadian laboratories have been accredited directly by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to provide sample analysis services at a very high standard.
The following trends have been seen in recent years:
• Canadian companies are increasingly including alcohol and drug testing as one component of their company policies, particularly in what would be considered risk- or safety-sensitive industries or activities. Historically, the standard practice has been as follows:
- to collect a urine sample for analysis in a certified laboratory with the core testing panel of marijuana, opiates, amphetamines (including methamphetamine and ecstasy), phencyclidine (PCP) and cocaine, although protocols can be set up to test for other drugs as required under the circumstances (e.g., for a follow-up testing program on direction from the SAP/SAE or treatment centre in special client circumstances, or where there are significant problems with additional drugs in a community).
- to use a calibrated breath analyzer for alcohol testing, although a saliva test (to “screen” out negatives) and a second urine collection for lab analysis has been used in remote locations if a breath machine is not readily available. This back-up option should be used with caution. Careful steps are needed in the collection stage, and conversion of results is needed to bloodequivalent levels.
• Because of the demands of the regulated motor carriers for qualified testing services,
- a comprehensive network of trained collection facilities was established across Canada to meet “‘cross-border” motor carrier needs; collection capability has expanded further, as there is more demand throughout the country.
- there is currently one Canadian lab certified to provide fully accurate testing services for Canadian companies (located in London, Ontario). The company has also introduced an approved screening lab in Edmonton.
- a number of Canadian occupational health physicians have had the appropriate training to be certified as Medical Review Officers — an essential part of any workplace testing program.
As such, an infrastructure has been established, and companies exploring the option of including testing under their policies can be assured of reliable and accurate results (provided they used qualified and experienced service providers). Normally this is managed by a third party administrator who provides all of the necessary services under one package. This is a case of “buyer beware,” though. Unfortunately, product manufacturers with quick and cheap solutions, unqualified collectors, doctors claiming to be qualified Medical Review Officers (MROs), and non-certified labs have shown up and started promoting their services. In the absence of any government standards, employers have been at the mercy of product promoters; without asking the right questions, some have ended up with highly ineffective programs, or programs that would not be defensible if challenged.
• Other technologies have also been in development.
- “0n site” or “point of collection” urine drug testing screens are increasingly being used for reasonable cause and post-incident testing, particularly where there are concerns about turnaround times because of distance from the lab. The process is the same as would be followed for standard lab urinalysis, except that the first-stage immunoassay screen is performed at the collection site. It is essential that these test kits also have the capability to test for adulterants at the time the “screen” test is taken, or else they will present a “false negative” result that would not go on to a lab for confirmation testing. Any “non-negative” result must be confirmed in a certified laboratory with qualified independent MRO review of positive lab results.
- oral fluid (saliva) samples are being used in many locations to test for drug presence, and this technology will increasingly be looked at as a less invasive alternative in the coming years. The newest version can also test for alcohol levels. The sample must be collected, sealed and forwarded to a laboratory for analysis using the same procedures for urinalysis. There are no accurate “quick” saliva tests available at this time despite what the marketers are saying — they are not yet specific enough to accurately identify use of a number of the drugs being tested at designated cut-off levels. The result is that drug users will have negative test results at site and thus their sample would never go to the lab. However, it is expected that the accuracy of these devices will improve over time.
- Many Canadian employers are also recognizing the significant problems with Oxycontin (prescribed pain killers), which is increasingly being used illegally. Testing for these synthetic opiates is often added to the opiate group, but must be specifically requested in the testing program.
There are hundreds of products available in North America to help individuals who want to “beat” the drug test. These are available through magazines, head shops, novelty shops, dietary supplement retailers and websites. The products include dilution products, cleansing products, adulteration additives, and substituted urine (devices, reservoir, catheter). Some products are effective and detectable, while others are not yet detectable or disappear on their own. Some are not effective, but are still marketed and sold as being able to “beat a test.”
Because of the proliferation of products, if an employer decides to begin testing, the company must ensure adulterant checks are part of the program, and any confirmed adulteration of a sample is considered a “refusal to test” with appropriate consequences.
Canadian employers face a variety of potential legal issues that may be related to alcohol and drugs and are best ad- dressed through consistent implementation of a clear and reasonable policy. This can include addressing the liabilities associated with the actions of impaired employees at work, due diligence responsibility around workplace safety, actions in response to possession or trafficking of illicit drugs, and the duty to accommodate those with a chemical dependency in accordance with human rights provisions.
In fact, a recent court decision confirmed that “human rights legislation fits within the entire legal framework within which enterprises must function … and … that framework includes other standards that also reflect deep values of the community such as those established by workers’ compensation legislation prohibiting an employer from placing an employee in a situation of undue risk, and the standards of the law of negligence.” The court stated that this fuller legal framework must be considered when a company’s occupational requirements are being assessed. The key responsibilities follow.
places the onus on employers to ensure the health, safety and welfare of employees; employers must prove diligence in minimizing or eliminating all potential safety risks, including those associated with independent contractors. Organizations can be liable for any negligent or wrongful acts committed by an employee acting within the scope or course of employment, which could include negligence in allowing an alcohol- or drug-impaired employee on the worksite or on a public highway once declared unfit to work, and negligence when returning someone to a risk-sensitive job after treatment or after a policy violation where sufficient monitoring mechanisms are not in place and a substance-related incident results. The company policy should have provisions to address these responsibilities.
The courts have clarified that occupational health and safety responsibilities can extend to contracted workers and sub-contractors. As a result, increasingly companies are not only introducing policies for employees, but they are also introducing requirements for contractors (generally by issuing a “Statement of Expectations for Contractors”).
• Reinforcing these safety obligations, Canada’s Criminal Code has been amended to set rules for attributing to organizations, including corporations, criminal liability for the acts of their representatives.
There is a legal duty for all persons directing work to take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of workers and the public. In essence, criminal negligence is established in case in which the organization or individual, in doing anything or in omitting to do anything that is its/his/her legal duty to do, shows wanton or reckless disregard for the lives or safety of others. There have been no cases at this point, but it is expected that this legislation will impact how organizations deal with substance-abuse issues.
makes the owner of a vehicle accountable for any injuries or damages caused by a person driving the vehicle with the owner’s consent. This is why companies must be clear that the rules around alcohol and drug use apply when someone is operating a company vehicle and/or operating a vehicle on behalf of the company. It is also why policies set out the requirement to report receiving an impaired driving charge or licence suspension (provincial or territorial law) in these situations, as they have lost their licence for a specified period of time after being identified as a safety risk by the police.
associated with the provision of alcohol to others or hosting alcohol-related events can include the provider of the alcohol, the occupier of the premises in which the problem occurred, and the sponsor of the event. If they are in any way implicated in an event involving alcohol use, the company can be held responsible for injuries the person who drank may receive, and for any third party they may injure. This is why Canadian companies must have clear rules around when alcohol can be used, as well as procedures for social and business hosting where alcohol use may be involved. This includes procedures to minimize the possibility that someone may leave in an intoxicated state that could result in injury to themselves or a third party.
prohibits discrimination on the basis of a disability. Current or former dependence on drugs or alcohol is considered a disability under the federal Act, and has been interpreted in the same manner at the provincial level. Issues around reasonable accommodation, and establishing a bona fide occupational requirement (bfor) for treating someone differently need to be addressed. Prevention initiatives, including access to assessment, assistance, treatment and follow-up services, as well as modifying hours or duties in certain circumstances, would all represent accommodation responsibilities.
is becoming clearer on a number of fronts. There are at present no provincial or federal laws that would specifically prohibit drug testing, and there have been no Supreme Court decisions in this area. However, a number of recent decisions provide some guidance on where the law may stand on this issue. An interesting twist in the last few years has made legal interpretation a bit more complicated. The human rights laws apply to all individuals, and decisions would accept testing in a number of situations, with the key limitation being the requirement for applicant and random testing acceptable only for safety-sensitive positions for which bona fide occupational requirements can be established. However, a number of arbitrators have concluded that there may need to be higher standards to meet in a unionized setting, leading the way to limiting reasonable cause and post-incident testing to safety-sensitive postions or safety-sensitive work environments
Although each case has its own unique aspects, it appears the trend has been to find testing acceptable:- as part of an investigation in an unfit for duty (reasonable cause) situation in which there is evidence that alcohol or drug use may be a contributing factor.
- as part of a full investigation into an accident/incident situation, without reasonable cause, provided testing is only for those whose acts or omissions contributed to the situation.
- as part of a monitoring program after treatment to support continued recovery, normally on the advice of a substance-abuse professional or treatment program.
- as a condition of return to duty after a policy violation and on an ongoing, follow-up basis.
- as a condition of “certification” or qualification to a higher-risk position for new hires and existing employees transferring to the position.
- on a random basis for alcohol in higher-risk (safety-sensitive) positions with the qualification noted below.
In a previously referenced ruling, the Federal Human Rights Tribunal upheld drug testing on a pre-employment and random basis for safety-sensitive positions in the motor coach industry. The Tribunal also ruled that any individual who tests positive and has an alcohol or drug dependency must be provided with assistance and accommodation. This means employers must have a process in place to ensure that professional assessment is done. The Federal Human Rights Commission’s new policy resulted from this decision and would allow for random testing for other, federally regulated safety-sensitive positions for which justification can be established (i.e., testing meets a bona fide occupational requirement for the position).
In other industries, however, random testing is still being challenged, and a few key decisions have been issued that better clarify an employer’s options in this area. There is no question random testing would have to be limited to the highest-risk “safety-sensitive” positions in any operation, and even then random drug testing may not be upheld beyond the federally regulated sector, or, if upheld, may be limited to using the newer oral fluid testing technology. However, it appears the law is taking a different perspective in a unionized setting.
A series of labour arbitration rulings have stated that to introduce random testing in a unionized setting in Canada, employers either have to have prior union agreement, or evidence of an “out of control” drug culture. In an Irving Pulp and Paper case, the New Brunswick Court of Appeal overturned this requirement, saying proof of an extensive problem is not necessary; the particular hearing dealt with random alcohol testing, but, in an earlier ruling, the Court of Queen’s Bench commented that it could see the same situation for random drug testing. The union in this case was granted leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada, which in turn issued a decision confirming that, in order for random alcohol testing to be acceptable, there must be a demonstrated problem with alcohol use or evidence of an alcohol problem in the workplace. An arbitration case involving Suncor attempted to demonstrate a problem sufficiently serious to justify the introduction of random testing, but the grievance by Unifor against Suncor’s new requirement was upheld in March 2014. The company is appealing this ruling to the courts.
Many Canadian employers have concluded that one of the most effective ways to prevent workplace alcohol and drug problems, and to effectively investigate and take corrective action, is by first establishing a clear and comprehensive workplace policy. Each company must decide what will work best in their own environment, as ther is no model policy. Each program should be tailored to meet the specific needs of each workplace, and shoul be seen as a reasonable and responsible response to those stated needs. The result should be an appropriate balance between health/safety (due diligence) and respect for individual rights/privacy.
This means finding a balance between measures to control or deter use (clear standards, investigation tools and consequences/discipline) and prevention measures (education, training and employee assistance). Alcohol and drug testing has been introduced in a significant number of workplaces in Canada, particularly in higher-risk sectors, but these programs are defensible only if they are part of a more comprehensive approach and the highest standards are used for the testing process.
