BOWEN SAFETY POLICY MANUAL b. Alcohol and other drug dependence are recognized as a serious condition requiring professional treatment. Consequently, any worker who is experiencing problems in their work or personal life due to alcohol and other drug abuse is encouraged to seek help through the Employee Assistance Program (EAP). C. The most efficient means of reducing the prevalence of substance abuse is through the provision of continuous education. Education and training will be conducted through formal and informal presentations, flyers and other educational materials. d. The misuse of any prescription, nonprescription or over-the- counter drug and/or medication is prohibited. e.. Legally prescribed drugs and/or medications may be permitted on Bowen premises or workplaces provided the drugs are contained in the original prescription container or provide proof that they are prescribed by a medical practitioner for the current use of the person in possession of the drug and/or medication. fa The prescription must be presented at time of drug screen and/or within three (3) days of a non -negative result to the MRO. Failure to do so will be subject to disciplinary action per Section 3.3.D.2 of this policy. Bowen Management may ask employee to provide a release from a medical practitioner stating the employee meets the requirements of the job description and functional task analysis. g. An employee must notify their supervisor prior to reporting to work, if they are taking a legally prescribed, nonprescription or over-the-counter medication which displays warnings about adverse side effects that may affect job performance or impair an employee's mental or motor functions to safely perform their duties and responsibilities. Using or being under the influence of such a drug and/or medication is prohibited. Bowen reserves the right to determine whether an individual can safely perform their duties and responsibilities while taking the prescription or over-the-counter drugs and/or medications and in some cases may request, the employee obtain written documentation based on the job description, functional task analysis and workplace environment from their medical provider or prescribing physician that details as to how the medication may impair the Employee's work ability and/or safety. ii. Should there be questions concerning the employee's ability to perform the job safely, the employee could be assigned other work, if, at the sole discretion of management, such duties are appropriate and available or the employee may be terminated.
