.............. <br />+ PRE -EMPLOYMENT TESTING: Each individual offered employment must pass <br />a drug test as a condition of employment. Management has the right to waive <br />.............. <br />this requirement on an individual basis. <br />+ RANDOM TESTING: Employees may be selected at random for drug testing at <br />.............. <br />any interval determined by the Company. <br />.............. <br />+ REASONABLE CAUSE TESTING: The Company may ask an employee to <br />.............. <br />submit to a drug and/or alcohol test at any time it has reasonable cause <br />to believe that the employee may be under the influence of drugs or <br />.............. <br />alcohol during working hours, including, but not limited to, the following <br />circumstances: observation of drug use, evidence of drugs or alcohol on or <br />about the employee's person or in the employee's vicinity during working <br />.............. <br />hours, specific observations concerning the appearance, behavior, speech, <br />or body odors of an employee, unusual conduct on the employee's part as <br />.............. <br />evidenced by the employee's work time actions, appearance, or conduct, <br />arrest or conviction for a drug- and/or alcohol -related offense (about which <br />employees are required to notify HR within 3 calendar days). <br />.............. <br />+ POST -ACCIDENT TESTING: Any employee involved in an on-the-job accident <br />or injury that results in (a) death, (b) bodily injury that requires medical <br />treatment away from the scene of the accident, or (c) property damage of at <br />.... <br />least $250.00 will be asked to submit to a drug and/or alcohol test. "Involved <br />.......... <br />in an on-the-job accident or injury" means not only the one who was or could <br />have been injured but also any employee who potentially contributed to the <br />accident or injury event in any way. Near misses may be subject to testing <br />under this policy as well. An employee who does not report an injury on the <br />.............. <br />day of occurrence and is required to seek medical assistance at a later date <br />. . . . . . . . . . may be subject to a drug test. <br />.............. <br />.............. <br />.. <br />Voluntary Identification and Rehabilitation/Treatment <br />............ <br />.............. <br />.............. <br />An employee who voluntarily says he has a drug- or alcohol -related problem <br />will not be subject to discipline for volunteering that fact. Instead, the employee <br />may request an unpaid leave of absence to undergo rehabilitation or treatment to <br />overcome dependence on drugs or alcohol or to participate in other programs <br />recommended by a substance abuse professional. <br />.............. <br />This leave will be in accordance with the terms and conditions of leave policies. <br />.............. <br />.............. <br />Since the key to rehabilitation is the willingness to admit and seek to remedy the <br />problem, this provision is not available to one who requests help (1) after being <br />. . . asked to submit to testing or (2) after the employee's use of drugs or alcohol <br />.............. <br />becomes a personnel issue based on direct observation or evidence obtained from <br />an arrest or criminal conviction for a drug- or alcohol -related offense. Further, <br />employees who volunteer such information and participate in a rehabilitation/ <br />treatment program must still comply with rules concerning alcohol and drugs and <br />will be subject to discipline for a violation. <br />.............. <br />34 R.
