DRUG AND ALCOHOL PROGRAM Clause Samples
The Drug and Alcohol Program clause establishes requirements for implementing and maintaining a program to prevent drug and alcohol abuse in the workplace. Typically, this clause mandates that employees undergo testing, receive education about substance abuse, and comply with specific policies regarding the use, possession, or influence of drugs and alcohol while on duty or on company premises. Its core function is to promote a safe and productive work environment by reducing the risks associated with substance abuse, thereby protecting both employees and the organization from potential harm or liability.
DRUG AND ALCOHOL PROGRAM.

G. Refusal to submit to a test upon the reasonable request of the Employer shall subject such employee to immediate termination.
H. Impairment resulting from drugs prescribed by a licensed California physician as part of the course of treatment shall not be cause for discharge pursuant to this policy.

J. As this policy implements a pilot program, either the Union or the Employer may upon thirty (30) days written notice request that this Section be reopened for further modification as experience warrants.
