To all Employees: <br />The Federal Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued regulations <br />(49 CFR 40) regarding Controlled Substances and Alcohol Use and Testing. Because the Company <br />is required to comply with these regulations and with DOT agency regulations (including FMCSA's 49 <br />CFR 382), we must issue a policy prohibiting substance abuse by our safety -sensitive employees. <br />Alcohol consumption by our safety -sensitive employees is prohibited while performing, and for <br />four (4) hours prior to performing safety -sensitive functions; and for eight (8) hours after an accident <br />unless it has been determined by a Company official that a post -accident alcohol test is not required. <br />Likewise, manufacturing, selling, buying, soliciting to buy or sell, transporting, using or possessing <br />illegal drugs (including a drug prescribed for another person) is prohibited. For additional information <br />about conduct prohibited by FMCSA, see Subpart B of 49 CFR 382 at FMCSA's website: <br />www.fmcsa.dot. ov/ruies-re ulations/administration/fmcsr/fmcsr uidedetails.as ?re ulation=382 <br />The regulations are very specific regarding what The Company must do to comply. We have <br />developed a policy and procedures that will apply to you based upon the job functions you perform. <br />The entire plan (consisting of Sections 1 thru 5 of this model program and referenced DOT <br />regulations) can be obtained by contacting the company's Designated Employer Representative <br />(DER) listed in Section 1, Contacts. <br />We must conduct tests under certain specific situations to determine whether employees have <br />used alcohol or drugs. The procedures and technology we will employ in this testing are specified in <br />a Department of Transportation Regulation, Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug and <br />Alcohol Testing Program (49 CFR, Part 40). Internet users can access information about and/or <br />changes to these regulations from the Drug Screens Plus website at: www.dsplus.com or the ODAPC <br />(Office of Drug and Alcohol Policy and Compliance) website at: <br />www.dot.gov/ostidapcldocuments.html?documents <br />A positive drug or alcohol test or a refusal to test or to submit a specimen for a drug or <br />alcohol test (see 49 CFR 40.191 and 40.261) or other violation of 49 CFR 40 or DOT agency <br />drug and alcohol regulations is grounds for discharge, solely at the option of the Company. <br />Each employee must read this policy and sign a statement certifying that he or she has <br />received a copy. Refusal to sign for receipt of a copy of this policy is grounds for discharge, <br />solely at the option of the Company. <br />Thank you for your cooperation in implementing these important safety regulations.
