Fitness for Work. The Employee is required to ensure that they are fit for work at all times before commencing work and during work. This means that the Employee must advise the Company whenever the Employee considers that they are not fit for work, whether due to not having had the required rest/sleep breaks, ill-health, injury, or for any other reason the Employee is unfit for work. In addition, should the Company have concerns about the Employee’s fitness for work at any point in time, the Company may require the Employee, at the Company’s expense, to undergo an appropriate medical check before starting or continuing work.
Fitness for Work. Employees must not be adversely affected by alcohol or drugs during working hours.

Fitness for Work. Employees are required to comply with the Company’s alcohol and other drug testing program and reasonable testing programs of external companies if working on the external Company’s site/s. The Company’s alcohol and other drug testing program will not use blood and/or urine. This clause recognises that some drug and alcohol tests conducted at customer’s premises might produce a positive test that indicates a potential health and well being risk. Many of the Company’s customers expect their employees and suppliers to be drug-free, so it is damaging for the Company’s relationship with its customers if its employees test positive, even though they may not be impaired at the time. The Company will manage the issue of any positive tests at customer’s premises in a sensitive and caring manner, mindful of the business impacts. It is expected that any employee who tests positive will work co-operatively with the Company with the objective of avoiding future re-occurrences.
(a) The Company’s employees will be required to abide by reasonable drug and alcohol testing policies of companies who have contracts with the Company, and who routinely require such testing of other contractors and internal employees.
(b) The parties agree that a positive test at a customer’s site may require the removal of the Company’s employee from that customer’s site. Each incident will be assessed on its merits using the Company’s People Performance Framework, a typical approach would be: • If the Company’s employee tests positive under the customer’s testing methodology, the employee may be removed from the customer site and may be taken home or to the quarters/motel if residing away from home. The employee’s supervisor will schedule an interview to discuss the incident during the next rostered shift, with a view to offering counselling and medical assistance to help address any problem that might exist. A plan to ensure future tests do not produce a positive result will be jointly developed. A sensitive and caring approach will be taken by both the supervisor and the employee. This is not a disciplinary process and the employee will be paid as per the normal shift for all purposes of this clause. • If the employee tests positive a second time under the customer’s testing methodology within 6 months, an interview will be held. The employee may be required to produce a clear test before being rostered for work at any customers’ premises that requires fitness for duty testing. A further ac...
