In recognition of the continued growth problem of substance abuse in our society, it is the policy of our company that management shall take all reasonable measures sufficient to assure that drug or alcohol use by employees or other persons does not jeopardize the safety of our operations or otherwise adversely affect the company, its employees, customers, or the community.

The use, possession, sale, or distribution of alcohol or drugs for non-medical reason, and/or being under the influence of these substances is prohibited in the work place. Violation of these rules of conduct is grounds for immediate disciplinary action, up to and including discharge.

The standard of prohibiting the presence of drugs and alcohol in the body in the work place has been set for these reasons.

• There is no know "no effect" level of these substances.
• There is no way to measure when a person is "under the influence" of these substances.
