<br />Statement of Policy
<br />Drugs, Marijuana, and Alcohol
<br />
<br />It is the policy of Trisco Systems, Inc., to prohibit the use, sale, dispensing, possession, or
<br />manufacture of illegal drugs, controlled substances, and marijuana or alcoholic beverages on
<br />Company assignment. The use or possession of these controlled substances while on Company
<br />property, in any Company vehicle, or on Company time, including breaks or lunch, paid or
<br />unpaid, is strictly prohibited. Because each employee has a responsibility to themselves and
<br />others to deliver services in a safe and conscientious manner, employees will be subject to
<br />disciplinary action, up to and including immediate dismissal:
<br />
<br />1 For refusing to submit to a drug or alcohol test;
<br />
<br />2 For bringing illegal drugs, controlled substances, marijuana or alcohol to work;
<br />
<br />3 For being subject to the effects of illegal drugs, alcohol, marijuana or controlled
<br />substances while working;
<br />
<br />4 For dispensing, distributing, manufacturing, or selling illegal drugs, controlled
<br />substances, marijuana or alcohol on Company premises and work sites; or
<br />
<br />5 For bringing prescription drugs on Company premises for any person other than
<br />for whom it is prescribed.
<br />
<br />In order to promote as safe a job performance as possible, employees must be able to work in a
<br />drug-free environment and be free from the effects of job impairing substances. When the
<br />Company has “reasonable cause” to believe an employee is under the influence of, or is using,
<br />possessing, selling, purchasing, receiving or distributing, “illegal drugs or alcohol” while “on
<br />the job” or on Company premises, or is otherwise abusing “illegal drugs or alcohol” in a
<br />manner which adversely affects job performance or threatens the property, safety or reputation
<br />of the Company or other employees, The Company may require the employee to submit to a
<br />search of:
<br />
<br />(a) Any vehicle brought onto or parked on Company or Client premises,
<br />
<br />(b) Any pocket, package, briefcase, toolbox, athletic bag, lunch box, or other container
<br />brought onto Company premises,
<br />
<br />(c) Any desk, file cabinet, locker, toolchest, or other stationary container provided by the
<br />Company.
<br />
<br />The refusal to submit to a search can subject the employee to disciplinary action up to and
<br />including immediate dismissal. The disciplinary action imposed by this rule will be determined
<br />on a case-by-case basis following Company review of the facts.
