Cathedral School for Boys Faculty and Staff Handbook 2017-18

Use of Tobacco

Pursuant to state law, and in order to maintain a safe and healthful environment, the use of tobacco products in all CSB and Grace Cathedral spaces is prohibited. Staff should not use tobacco off campus while accompanying students. Prohibited smoking includes e- cigarettes and other electronic nicotine delivery systems, as well as other vapor emitting devices, with or without nicotine content, that mimic the use of tobacco products. When appropriate, please ask visitors and guests who are using tobacco products on school premises to refrain from doing so. Drugs and Alcohol CSB is committed to maintaining a workplace free from the effects of alcohol and illegal drugs. Illegal drugs, as referred to in this policy, include drugs that are not legally obtainable, as well as drugs that are legally obtainable but used for illegal or unauthorized purposes. We expect all employees to report for work free from the influence of drugs and be able to fully perform their job duties. While on school premises and while conducting school-related activities off school premises, you may not be under the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol, nor may you be in any condition that impairs your work performance due to drug or alcohol use or abuse. You may not engage in the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, or use of illegal drugs. Violations of this policy may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination of employment. Such violations may also have legal consequences. The legal use of lawfully prescribed drugs is permitted on the job only if it does not impair your ability to perform the essential functions of the job effectively and in a safe manner that does not endanger other individuals in the workplace. If you are taking prescribed drugs which may affect your attentiveness, cause drowsiness, or otherwise impair your abilities, please notify your supervisor or the Headmaster of this fact so modifications to job duties can be made if appropriate. If the school has a reasonable suspicion that an employee has violated this policy, it will conduct an investigation, which may include an unannounced search of school premises or property and/or the employee’s personal property. The school may also order any employee reasonably suspected of having used or being under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs while on duty to take a test for the presence of drugs or alcohol. An independent laboratory will conduct the test at the school's expense. Any employee asked to undergo a test will be suspended from work until further notice. Failure to abide by this policy or refusal to consent to testing when requested will result in disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination, even for a first offense.
