Common use of DRUG FREE WORK ENVIRONMENT Clause in Contracts

DRUG FREE WORK ENVIRONMENT. Oakland Community College is committed to providing a safe, efficient, and productive work environment for all employees. Using or being under the influence of drugs or alcohol on the job may pose serious safety and health risks. To help ensure a safe and healthful working environment, job applicants may be asked to provide body substance samples (such as urine and/or blood) to determine the illicit or illegal use of drugs. Bargaining unit employees may be tested for drugs if there is reasonable suspicion, or for alcohol if work performance and observable signs indicate that alcohol may be affecting performance. The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides confidential counseling and referral services to employees for assistance with such problems as drug and/or alcohol abuse or addiction. It is the employee's responsibility to seek assistance from the EAP prior to reaching a point where their judgment, performance, or behavior has led to imminent disciplinary action.
