PIPEDA Case Summary #2016-009: Trucking company inappropriately disclosed employee’s drug test results to workers’ compensation board
An international trucking company
An individual complained that his employer, an international trucking company, disclosed his positive drug test results to a provincial workers' compensation board (WCB) without his consent. The company claimed it was legally obligated to do so. The OPC found the disclosure was a contravention of PIPEDA as the company's belief of a legal obligation was inaccurate, and the WCB did not require the information. The complaint regarding disclosure to co-workers was not substantiated. The company implemented the OPC's recommendations, leading to the complaint being resolved.
