Abstract Report on two meetings held in Paris (France) on 2-3 Oct. 1991. One was organised by the French Toxicological Association, the other by the French Association for Analytical Toxicology. Both meetings concerned the non-medical use of drugs (including alcohol), and the methodological and analytical aspects of the detection of this use in the workplace. Main themes covered: (1) protocols for the detection of drug addiction in enterprises (survey of metabolism, difficulties of the interpretation of test results, protocols for urine sampling); (2) analytical methods used by laboratories specialised in the analysis of toxic substances; (3) detection of drug-related behaviour in the workplace - role of the industrial physician. Brief discussion of opportunities for drug detection in the workplace.
