This policy has been formulated for the safety and well-being of all employees. Your assistance and cooperation for the achievement of this goal is vitally important and required as a condition of your continued employment. AJK reserves the right to change the provisions of this policy and testing program at any time. What is the "workplace"? The workplace includes all job sites, including temporary field offices. This policy also extends to employees when operating AJK owned or leased vehicles and when on AJK business away from the normal workplace while the employee is on duty. Management will have sole discretion as to whether it will be safe for those employees to remain on duty. Definitions • "Drug" means any controlled substance or dangerous drug, including inhalants as defined by state and federal laws and regulations. • "Reasonable Suspicion" means a suspicion that would be held by an ordinary and prudent person. This may include, but is not limited to, suspected impairment on the job, altered job performance, habitual tardiness, or absenteeism. • "Under the Influence" means having a level of alcohol or drugs in the body to the extent that it impairs employee performance or jeopardizes the safety of employees or other persons. • "Test Positive for Drugs" means that a controlled substance, as defined by law, has been detected by a laboratory test. • "Test Positive for Alcohol" means that alcohol has been detected in an amount over the legal limit as defined by law. Pre-Employment Drug Screening Post-Offer, pre-employment drug and/or alcohol testing will be performed on all candidates as a condition of employment. Post-Accident Screening Employees involved in work-related recordable accidents will be tested as allowed by law. Management reserves the right to have post-accident screening for non-recordable work-related accidents. Injury or accident-based testing does not apply where the incident or accident is unlikely to have occurred as a result of drug or alcohol use, or where the cause of the incident or injury is known or clear (e.g., back sprains from lifting a heavy object, bug bites that require treatment, etc.).
