On the issue of testing for the presence of substances that act similarly to alcohol in employees’ bodies – selected issues

The article addresses the issue of an employee’s control in the context of drugs acting similarly to alcohol. The au­thors focus on the analysis of the concept “drugs acting similarly to alcohol” and methods of testing for the pres­ence of these substances in the bodies of employees. They assume that the limited scope of the employer’s control competences makes it difficult to verify the employee’s compliance with the duty of sobriety and, as a result, to apply specific legal consequences to the employee.

Keywords: the employee; duty of sobriety; drug acting similarly to alcohol; on-site screening instrument for drugs in samples; oral fluid
