A Model Drugs Policy
The Company is committed to providing a safe
work environment and to fostering the well being and health of its staff.
That commitment is jeopardised when any member of staff illegally uses
drugs in the workplace, comes to work under the influence of drugs, or
possesses, distributes or sells drugs in the workplace. The Company has
therefore established the following policy:
1. It is a violation of The Company's policy for any employee to possess,
sell or offer for sale illegal drugs or otherwise engage in the use of
drugs on the job.
2. It is a violation of The Company's policy for anyone to report to
work under the influence of illegal drugs.
3. It is a violation of The Company's policy for anyone to use prescription
drugs illegally.
4. Nothing in this policy precludes the appropriate use of legally prescribed
medication.
5. Violations of this policy may subject to disciplinary action.
It is the responsibility of The Company's Board of Directors to counsel
employees whenever they see changes in performance or behaviour that suggest
an employee has a drug problem. Although it is not the Board's job to
diagnose personal problems, the Board will encourage such employees to
seek help and advise them about available resources for getting help.
Everyone shares a responsibility for maintaining a safe working environment
and co-workers should encourage anyone who may have a drug problem to
seek help.
The goal of this policy is to balance our respect for the individual
with the need to maintain a safe, productive and drug free environment.
The intent of this policy is to offer a helping hand to those who need
it, whilst sending a clear message that the use of drugs is incompatible
with employment by The Company.
Note: Substitute your own Company's name for The Company.
