Q.29 If an impaired person refuses to stay at work or to have someone else take them home, <br />and, instead goes home on their own, should we call the police? <br />A. Yes, in the case where you believe someone is impaired. If possible, advise the <br />uncooperative co-worker that you intend to notify the authorities before he/she leaves the <br />premises. <br />Q.30 A person is charged with drunk driving on his own time and is convicted. Does this <br />affect High? <br />A. Yes it could. It depends on whether the person is required to drive on behalf of the <br />company as part of his/her job duties. It is prohibited to operate a company vehicle <br />without a valid driver's license. All such circumstances should be discussed with the <br />Corporate Director, Environmental, Health and Safety Services. <br />Q.31 What is considered medical treatment? <br />A. Any treatment done at any medical facility or by a licensed health care provider. <br />Q.32 Who is responsible for transporting to a medical facility? <br />A. It depends why they are being transported. If a co-worker is being sent for a substance <br />screen for "fitness for duty", that co-worker must be transported by the supervisor or a <br />competent person designated by the supervisor, since his/her faculties are in question. <br />If an individual is injured, the first aider must make the determination whether that <br />individual can safely transport him/herself, medically speaking, in accordance with the <br />First Aid Operating Policies. <br />If the individual is being sent for testing because they have had a near miss, property or <br />equipment damage, if the supervisor believes that the individual is not impaired they <br />may allow that individual to transport themselves. <br />In all cases, the individual must have a photo ID. If an individual does not have a photo <br />ID, that individual must be accompanied by someone with a photo ID who can identify <br />the individual. <br />Page 21 <br />Supersedes Policy Number/Dated: 01/01/06 Policy Number 2-662 <br />Approved by: Larry Brown Effective Date: 08/01/08 <br />
