Not drugs, but at my workplace (in EU) breath alcohol tests were common. Well, sort of. The managers were supposed to walk around with breathalyzers and test x random employees. But that would be inconvenient, so it got reduced to signing a form.
“Are you drunk?”
“No.”
“Can you sign this form stating I tested you?”
“Yes.”
“OK, thanks.”
Anyway, I guess drug tests are more involved. How are they done?
Different types. Sometimes its a spit test. You spit into a tube and it gets sent off to be tested. Sometimes you pee in a cup. Theres a lot of paperwork and you certainly aren’t just gonna say you did it and not do it.
In my industry they are only performed if you are involved in an incident where drug or alcohol use is suspected. The involved employees are sent to a medical testing facility for urine screening.
In the US you are basically told that you either do the drug test or you are fired. So technically you “consent” to it.

Just like how you give cops “consent” otherwise they will manufacture it.
