Q.22 What happens if a person who has been tested and is discharged asks why other co- <br />workers were not tested? <br />A. As a matter of law and choice, High treats its relationship with a co-worker as a private <br />matter. High will not respond to requests for information related to its relationship with a <br />co-worker to anyone but that co-worker and the representatives authorized by that co- <br />worker. <br />Q.23 Who decides unannounced testing for a co-worker who is on probation? <br />A. The DER will decide when this will be authorized. <br />Q.24 What happens if I have completed the 2-year Probationary Program for substance abuse <br />violation and I test positive again? <br />A. Your employment is terminated. <br />Searches: <br />Q.25 If we use K-9's (dogs) and find something in a locker (illegal substance), may we fire an <br />individual? <br />A. Yes, according to our policy. As long as the substance is tested and found to be illegal, <br />the individual may be dismissed. However, use of dogs, etc. will not be used without <br />Corporate Management approval. <br />Q.26 May we handle a substance without being charged with possession? <br />A. No. If you find something that you believe is an illegal substance you should notify your <br />supervisor and/or DER. We will then notify police, inform them that you found <br />something, and request that it be tested. If you have reason to believe that drugs are <br />being sold on your shift, people are wandering away, you have heard talk, etc., then <br />contact your supervisor. <br />Miscellaneous: <br />Q.27 If a supervisor's friend is having a problem, and the supervisor is over looking the <br />problem, what can co-workers do? How do coworkers approach the subject? <br />A. Co-workers may talk to Human Resources, Safety and Health, etc. Even another <br />supervisor may discuss the matter with the supervisor in question or bring it to Human <br />Resources' attention. <br />Q.28 If a co-worker is hurt, who takes the individual for treatment? <br />A. The First Aider will determine the best method of transport for the individual. <br />Page 20 <br />Supersedes Policy Number/Dated: 01/01/06 Policy Number 2-662 <br />Approved by: Larry Brown Effective Date: 08/01/08 <br />
