In Finland, an employer has a right to require that an employee attend a medical examination before the employment begins, to establish that the employee is suitable for the work. The employer must organize the health check with a professional healthcare service provider, and the examination must be paid by the employer. In addition, the employer may only require drug testing when the work requires precision, reliability, independent judgment or quick reactions, and if performing the work while under the influence of drugs or while addicted to drugs could endanger the safety of others.
