Drug and alcohol abuse contributes to billions of dollars of lost productivity and thousands of workplace injuries every year. Our policy is to employ a work force free from alcohol abuse or the use of illegal drugs. This company takes drug and alcohol abuse as a serious matter and will not tolerate it. The company absolutely prohibits the use of alcohol or non-prescribed drugs at the workplace or while on company premises. It also discourages non-workplace drug and alcohol abuse. The use, sale or possession of alcohol or drugs while on the job or on company property will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination, and may have legal consequences. Employees are expected and required to report to work on time and in appropriate mental and physical condition for work. It is our intent and obligation to provide a drug-free, healthful and safe work environment. PSI TUNNELS & SHAFTS LIMITED reserves the right to demand a drug or alcohol test of any employee based upon reasonable suspicion. Reasonable suspicion includes, but is not limited to, physical evidence of use, involvement in an accident, or a substantial drop in work performance. Failure to take the requested test may lead to discipline, including possible termination.
The company also cautions against use of prescribed or over-the-counter medication which can affect employee workplace performance. Employees may be suspended or discharged if the company concludes that they cannot perform their job properly or safely because of using over-the-counter or prescribed medication. Employees must inform their supervisor prior to working under the influence of a prescribed or over-the-counter medication which may affect their performance.
Employees must report any conviction under a criminal drug statute for violations occurring on or off the Company's premises while conducting company business.
