All temporary co-workers must be tested prior to <br />working for any High company, its divisions, subdivisions or affiliates. In the <br />event of a positive screen they will be released from their assignment and barred <br />from working for any High company or its divisions, subdivisions or affiliates. <br />Interns and other seasonal workers are subject to the High drug testing policy.

High maintains a separate <br />Substance Abuse policy for Safety Sensitive Workers. <br />PURPOSE: High recognizes that alcoholism, drug dependence and other medical and/or <br />behavioral conditions are highly complex illnesses that, under most <br />circumstances, can be successfully treated. Co-workers are encouraged to <br />voluntarily seek assistance from the Company's Employee Assistance Program <br />(EAP), and the initiation of such action will not, in and of itself, be held against a <br />co-worker. <br />Therefore, in order to help maintain a safe and efficient work environment, High <br />has adopted a policy on "Substance Abuse In the Workplace" (Policy No. 2-662). <br />High has adopted this policy in order to: <br />• Help maintain a safe and healthful work environment for its co-workers and <br />its affiliated or subsidiary companies <br />• Protect corporate property and assets <br />• Cooperate with its customers, contractors, and subcontractors in their efforts <br />to maintain safe and efficient operations <br />Page 1 <br />Supersedes Policy Number/Dated: 01/01/06 Policy Number 2-662 <br />Approved by: Larry Brown Effective Date: 08/01/08 <br />
