Our workplace must be free from drug <br />and alcohol abuse. Employees cannot work safely and productively if they report for work or work while <br />impaired by alcohol or drugs. Therefore, RAM has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy. No policy violation will <br />be ignored or tolerated. All policy violations will be reviewed with appropriate action taken in response to <br />the violation. Actions taken in response to policy violations are at the discretion of Ram Construction <br />Services, up to and including termination of employment. <br />We want to help an employee solve his/her substance abuse problem before substance abuse jeopardizes <br />his/her job. We will help obtain counseling or treatment for any employee who voluntarily seeks our <br />assistance before the alcohol or drug problem has had a detrimental effect on the employee's job <br />performance or attendance. <br />Pre -Employment <br />Ram Construction Services will test, at the employee's expense, job applicants for drugs.
