In the Irving Pulp & Paper case, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that alcohol testing might be permitted in the workplace when there has been an accident or near miss, and the employer has reasonable cause to believe alcohol was a factor. This decision emphasizes the need for a balance between an employee's right to privacy and the employer's duty to maintain a safe work environment.
