F.
Policy Violation
1. General The following actions constitute some examples of conduct in violation of this Policy: 1. Using any Unauthorized Substances or Unlawful Substances, at any time, such that the Employee is not Fit for Work/Duty and then reporting for work. The Company does not seek to control what Employees do when their conduct is unrelated to their responsibilities to the Company. However, effects from Unauthorized Substances and/or Unlawful Substances are not always apparent until an unfortunate event occurs. Employees who consume Unauthorized or Unlawful Substances do so at their own risk and are responsible for any effect it has on them and any consequences arising from that consumption. 2. Reporting for duty or performing job duties with the presence of Unauthorized Substances or Unlawful Substances listed in Appendix A in breath, urine or saliva at or above the threshold levels stated therein. In post-treatment or return-to-work/follow-up situations, a positive test will be evidence of any presence of an Unauthorized Substance or Unlawful Substance. 3. Consuming any Lawful Substances, where there is any reason to believe such consumption will result in the Employee not being Fit for Work/Duty and subsequently reporting for work without first consulting with a Manager. Where it is necessary to use medication during work hours and a physician has advised the Employee that the substance may potentially affect his or her ability to safely perform the duties required, a Manager must be consulted. The Manager may require, in the appropriate circumstances, physician certification that the Lawful Substance is required during work hours and that it does not compromise safety. Employees who must take medications that may impact their ability to be Fit for Work/Duty must notify their Manager, seek accommodation, and not compromise safety. 4. Consuming any Unauthorized Substance or Unlawful Substance between the time an Employee is asked to submit to a test for Unauthorized and/or Unlawful Substances and the time the samples are provided. 5. An Employee possessing on a Company Site, either on their person or in a Company vehicle, equipment, or storage place or compartment, an Unauthorized or Unlawful Substance. 6. Testing positive (a Positive Screen) after submitting to testing for Unauthorized Substances and/or Unlawful Substances, in situations where testing negative is an agreed upon term of a Return-to-Work Agreement, either as part of Accommodation or as part of a disciplinary process.
