Prohibited Behavior The following clearly outlines the Company’s position regarding drugs and alcohol and the behaviors prohibited by this policy. An employee who engages in any of the following activities will be subject to discipline, at the sole discretion of Management, up to and including termination: • Report for work, remain at work, or conduct Company business with any detectable level of alcohol or controlled substance, intoxicant or illegal drug in their system. • Engage in the unauthorized use of any alcohol or illegal drug on Company premises or on Company time, including break and lunch periods. • The use, possession, manufacture, distribution, dispensation or sale of alcohol and illegal/controlled substances and/or drug-related paraphernalia on Company premises, in Company vehicles or equipment, or while performing duties for Midwest Fastener Corp. while away from Company premises, and/ or during work hours including breaks and lunch periods. • Use medically authorized (prescription) or over-the-counter drugs in a manner inconsistent with the directions for the medication. • Storing in a locker, desk, automobile or other site on Company premises any Unauthorized Substances or Alcohol. • Compliance with this policy will be required by Midwest Fastener Corp. as a condition of employment for qualified applicants or for continued employment of current employees. The presence of a detectable amount of any prohibited substance in an employee while working and/or during
Medically Authorized (Prescription) Medications, Over-the-Counter Medications & Alcohol When a doctor prescribes prescription medication(s), it is the employee’s responsibility to ask whether the medication will impair the employee’s ability to safely perform the job. The doctor should be familiar with the employee’s work duties before signing the statement. The statement will need to indicate the employee is unable to perform safety-sensitive functions due to the use of prescription medication. The Company may ask the physician to complete a fitness-for-duty form indicating when to expect the employee back at work. Where possible, the Company may temporarily assign other work consistent with the employee’s restricted medical condition. Some over-the-counter drugs also may impair job performance. To ensure the employee will be able to safely perform all job duties required, it is essential to read the instructions, warnings, and precautions prior to ingesting any medication of any type. The Company may require a physician’s written certification from any employee requesting a job reassignment or time off for medical reasons or because they are taking an over-the-counter drug impairing performance or safety. The certification need not identify the name of the drug. Abuse of medically authorized or over-the-counter drugs is a violation of this policy. Using another person’s prescription medication is also considered abuse. Employees may entertain during work hours or after work hours as representatives of the Company. These occasions may include lunches, dinners and business conferences. On any such occasion, only the moderate and limited use of alcoholic beverages is acceptable. Employees are expected to remain responsible, professional and sober at all times. Drug & Alcohol Testing Midwest Fastener Corp. tests for drugs and
working hours may be deemed a violation of this policy, regardless of when or where the substance entered the employee’s system.
