[Amended 2-13-1997]
The Town will establish an employee assistance
program (EAP) which includes education and training for employees
and supervisors about controlled substances and alcohol. The training
program will cover the effects of controlled substance use on personal
health, safety and the work environment.
[Amended 2-13-1997]
This policy applies to all Town employees, including
those employees requiring commercial driver's license as defined by
the Department of Transportation, Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations,
Part 383.5.
Certified breath alcohol technicians will perform
these tests using evidential breath testing devices. If the test shows
a result less than .02, the test is considered negative. If the alcohol
concentration is .02 or greater, a confirmation test must be conducted.
The confirmation test will be performed 15 minutes after the initial
test, and the results of this test determine what actions will be
taken.
The consequences of refusing a test are the
same as testing positive.
