Common use of Illegal Drugs Clause in Contracts

Illegal Drugs. For the purpose of this Policy, the terms "illegal drugs" or "drugs" refer to those drugs listed in Appendix A, except in those circumstances where they are prescribed by a duly licensed health care provider. Appendix A lists the illegal drugs and alcohol and the threshold levels for which an employee/applicant will be tested. Threshold levels of categories of drugs and alcohol constituting positive test results will be determined using the applicable Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (“SAMHSA”) (formerly the National Institute of Drug Abuse, or “NIDA”) threshold levels, or U.S. government required thresholds where required, in effect at the time of testing. Appendix A will be updated periodically to reflect the SAMHSA or the U.S. Government threshold changes, subject to mutual agreement of the parties.
