ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE POLICY. The District and the Union recognize that many areas of the District's operations involve hazardous work with the potential for personal injury or property damage and that all areas involve directly or indirectly the public at large. Therefore, it must endeavor to provide safe and efficient operations for the protection and benefit of the general public, its customers and its employees. Accordingly, the District and Union agree to a zero- tolerance Policy concerning on or off-duty use of illegal drugs, abuse of controlled substances on or off-duty, and/or reporting to work or working impaired or under the influence of alcohol or drugs as defined below. As part of its efforts to achieve that goal, it must require that its work be performed by employees who do not use illegal drugs or misuse controlled substances and/or alcohol as follows:
ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE POLICY. The County has established a strong commitment to eliminate substance abuse and its effects in the workplace, and has set forth a policy in Board of Supervisors Policy C-10, which is included in this MOU by reference. Employees reasonably believed to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs shall be prevented from engaging in further work and may be detained for a reasonable time until they can be safely transported from the work site.
ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE POLICY. Purpose It is the intention of this policy to eliminate substance abuse and its effects in the workplace. While the City of Saratoga has no intention of intruding into the private lives of its employees, involvement with drugs and alcohol can take its toll on job performance and employee safety. Employees must be in a condition to perform their duties safely and efficiently, in the interest of their fellow workers and the public, as well as themselves. The presence of drugs and alcohol on the job, and the influence of these substances on employees during working hours, are inconsistent with this objective. Employees who think they may have an alcohol or drug usage problem are urged to voluntarily seek confidential assistance from the Employee Assistance Program Counselor. While the City will be supportive of those who seek help voluntarily, the City will be equally firm in identifying and disciplining those whose continued substance abuse, even if enrolled in counseling or rehabilitation programs, results in performance problems, danger to the health and safety of others and themselves and/or violations of federal, state or City laws/policy. Supervisors will be trained to recognize abusers and become involved in this control process. Alcohol or drug abuse will not be tolerated, and disciplinary action, up to and including termination, will be used as necessary to achieve this goal. This policy provides guidelines for the detection and deterrence of alcohol and drug abuse. It also outlines the responsibilities of City managers and employees. To that end, the City will act to eliminate any substance abuse (alcohol, illegal drugs, prescription drugs or any other substance which could impair an employee’s ability to safely and effectively perform the functions of the particular job) which increases the potential for accidents, absenteeism, substandard performance, poor employee morale or damage to the Agency’s reputation. All persons covered by this policy should be aware that violations of the policy may result in discipline, up to and including termination, or in not being hired. In recognition of the public service responsibilities entrusted to the employees of the City, and that drug and alcohol usage can hinder a person’s ability to perform duties safely and effectively, the following policy against drug and alcohol abuse is hereby adopted by the City. Policy It is City policy that employees shall not be impaired by or have in their biological system, or ...
