The test is a PEth test. It is performed in occupational health on a blood sample from an employee.

The test tells you whether the employee has drunk alcohol in recent weeks and how much.

Heavy alcohol use can still show up on the test 4 weeks after quitting.

The employee organizations SAK and AKT say that the employee may even have been fired because of the test result.
