However, employees may NOT be under the influence of marijuana to <br />the extent they are impaired in the workplace. Smoking or possessing marijuana during work <br />hours on the employer's or customer/client premises is strictly prohibited. Should an employee <br />exhibit signs of impairment, the situation will be treated under the Drug and Alcohol procedures <br />outlined in our policies. Being impaired in the workplace may lead to termination of <br />employment. Some positions are designated "safety sensitive" positions which are shown on <br />your job description. If you are in a safety sensitive position, medical marijuana card protections <br />are not applicable if you test positive for marijuana. <br />Safety and Accident Rules <br />The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) requires all employers to provide a safe and <br />healthful workplace for their employees.
