BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION <br />RESOURCE CENTER, INC. <br />INTRODUCTION <br />The Labor and Management representatives of the Building <br />and Construction Industry for Northwest Indiana have formed <br />an alliance to address the problems caused by drug and alcohol <br />abuse. Management and Labor together have created the Building <br />and Construction Resource Center, Inc. (hereafter "BCRC"), an <br />independent not-for-profit corporation that offers a wide range <br />of services to Employees in the unionized construction industry, <br />which includes Employers and Labor Union organizations. <br />It is BCRC's goal to assist Employers in establishing and <br />maintaining workplaces that are free of the destructive effects <br />caused when Employees use or abuse drugs and/or alcohol. <br />BCRC's activities are not intended to interfere with normal <br />practices of the Labor Unions or Management. BCRC recognizes <br />its responsibility to communicate with and educate Employers <br />and Employees in the unionized construction industry concerning <br />this policy, as well as the harmful effects of drugs and alcohol in <br />our society and in the workplace. BCRC also recognizes the need <br />to provide a program of assistance to those persons for whom <br />drugs or alcohol may be causing problems. Our Employee <br />Assistance Program (EAP) provides support, counseling and <br />resources for life issues that can take a toll on your emotional <br />well-being or take time away from things you value the most, <br />like work and family. Finally, while not wishing to violate the <br />rights or invade the privacy of any Employee, BCRC's drug <br />testing program will seek to identify those Employees who are <br />unable or unwilling to conform to BCRC's program. This <br />program has been established in accordance with the Drug and <br />Alcohol Testing Industry Association (DATIA), the Substance <br />Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) <br />and the Federal Department of Transportation Guidelines for <br />specimen collection, laboratory analysis and review, and standards <br />of integrity and confidentiality. <br />E <br />
