Employees shall not: <br />1- Use, possess, dispense or receive substances on or at the job site; or <br />2- Report to work with any measurable amount of prohibited substances in their system. <br />B. Discipline — when the company has reasonable cause to believe an employee is under the <br />influence of a prohibited substance, for reasons of safety, the employee may be suspended <br />until test results are available. If no test results are received after three (3) working days, the <br />employee, if available, shall be returned to work with back pay. If the test results prove <br />negative, the employee shall be reinstated with back pay. In all other cases: <br />1- Applicants testing positive for drug use will not be hired. <br />2- Employees who have not voluntarily come forward, and who test positive for drug use, will be <br />terminated. <br />3- Employees who refuse to cooperate with testing procedures will be terminated. <br />4- Employees found in possession of drugs or drug paraphernalia will be terminated. <br />5- Employees found selling or distributing drugs will be terminated. <br />6- Employees found under the influence of alcohol while on duty, or while operating a company <br />vehicle, will be subject to termination. <br />C. Prescription Drugs — employees using a prescribed medication which may impair performance <br />of job duties, either mental or motor functions, must immediately inform their supervisor of <br />such prescription drug use. For the safety of all employees, the company will consult with you <br />and your physician to determine if a re -assignment of duties is necessary. The company will <br />attempt to accommodate your needs by making an appropriate re -assignment. However, if a <br />re -assignment is not possible, you will be placed on temporary medical leave until released as <br />fit for duty by the prescribing physician. <br />D. Grievance — all aspects of this policy and program shall be subject to the grievance procedure <br />of the applicable collective bargaining agreements. <br />Drug/Alcohol Testing <br />A. The parties to this policy and program agree that under certain circumstances, the company <br />will find it necessary to conduct drug and alcohol testing. While "random" testing is not <br />necessary for the proper operation of this policy and program, it may be necessary to require <br />testing under the following conditions: <br />1- A pre -employment drug and alcohol test maybe administered to all applicants for employment <br />2- A test may be administered in the event a supervisor has a reasonable cause to believe that the <br />employee has reported to work under the influence, or is or has been under the influence while <br />on the job; or has violated this drug policy. During the process of establishing reasonable cause <br />for testing, the employee has the right to request his on -site representative to be present; <br />3- Testing may be required if an employee is involved in a workplace accident/incident or if there is <br />a workplace injury; <br />
