Alcohol & Substance Abuse Training

Training Instructor: George Bunker - george@im-inc.com - 970-632-4917

Course Duration: 01:56:23

Although you completed the basic Alcohol & Substance Abuse Awareness Training when you completed the Safety Orientation and Annual Safety Training, something you have done in your actions or behaviors while on the job has caused the Company to require that you take this more extensive Alcohol & Substance Abuse Training.

The date on this training course signifies your final opportunity to STOP the alcohol and/or substance abuse behaviors that got you to this point. The next corrective action will be termination of your employment with the Company!

Introduction

The following is the Alcohol and Substance Abuse Policy for Innovations Manufacturing (the Company). Please read this policy thoroughly and then take the Alcohol and Substance Abuse Awareness Training and sign the enclosed acknowledgement. The Acknowledgement and compliance with this policy is a condition of employment.

Purpose

The Company is concerned and recognizes a responsibility to provide a safe, healthy, and productive work environment for all employees. This Policy is designed to help accomplish that goal by preventing and eliminating active drug and alcohol abuse among our employees. Employees who use illegal drugs or abuse other controlled substances or alcohol tend to be less productive, less reliable, less cautious, and prone to greater absenteeism resulting in the potential for increased cost, delay, and risk to our business. Ultimately, they threaten our competitiveness.

We believe our employees have the right to work with persons free from the effects of alcohol and drugs. This Policy is designed to help accomplish that goal by eliminating the use of or influence of alcohol and drug abuse while on actively performing services on Company time.  

The possession, consumption, purchase, or sale of alcohol on Company premises is prohibited. Furthermore, no employee shall be under the influence of alcohol or mind-altering drugs while performing services to the Company.

Drug and Alcohol Screening

• A urinalysis, or other drug/alcohol screening may be conducted without discrimination and at the discretion of Company management under the following conditions:
  • Pre-employment test.
  • Post-accident or if probable cause is suspected.
  • When there is reason to believe that an employee may be using drugs or may be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
  • As part of periodic follow-up testing if the employee is found to have breached these policies but has been permitted to remain employed.
• An employee’s cooperation with such a test is required as a condition of employment. The employee’s refusal to cooperate with such a request and provide a specimen may be grounds for termination. This specimen may be collected by a Company representative at a Company facility, or a company designated collection facility. Failure to produce a negative urine test result or to comply with all the tenant of this document and the established Company procedures for its implementation will constitute noncompliance with this Policy.

Searches

• Routine searches of Company property may be conducted unannounced and at any time. This includes, but is not limited to, lockers, storage areas, jobsite trailers, Company vehicles and rooms normally used to store employee’s personal property.
• Should the Company suspect that an employee has sold, purchased, used, or possessed alcohol, drugs or drug paraphernalia on Company premises, the Company may inspect the employee’s personal effects (lunch boxes, toolboxes) or automobile that is parked on Company property.

Continued Violations of This Policy

• If you were assigned this training, you have already been found to be in violation of this Policy and any further violation will result in your termination.
