Self-Identification. The parties encourage voluntary disclosure by an employee of substance use (legal or illegal drugs or alcohol) that would impair them from performing safety sensitive duties. A. Self-identification is deemed to occur when an employee, after becoming aware of a safety sensitive work assignment (for example, vehicle operation), notifies their supervisor or the responsible Management official of the employee’s potential impairment at the first reasonable opportunity and before beginning to perform the assignment. If an employee self identifies and is unable to perform an assignment, Management will not initiate disciplinary action regarding the first instance of impairment. Additional instances of impairment may be subject to discipline. However, the employee may still be subject to disciplinary action for any other related or unrelated misconduct beyond this instance of impairment.
