(A) The drug-free workplace policy is intended to apply whenever anyone is representing or conducting business for CFC. Therefore, this policy applies whenever conducting business or representing CFC. This policy applies during all working hours, while on call or paid standby and while performing work on behalf of CFC while on or off CFC property. Additionally, applicants for such county employment are subject to pre-employment drug testing. It also applies to all CFC employees with special provisions designated to those employees identified as holding safety sensitive positions. These positions are ones in which their performance requires an extra degree of care and diligence in the area of safety to the community.
(B) Those positions identified as “safety sensitive” include, but not limited to:
(1) County Sheriff’s Department employees;
(2) Employees of the County Jailer;
(3) Heavy equipment operators;
(4) Personnel driving CDL-regulated vehicles;
(5) Mechanics who work on these regulated vehicles; and
(6) Any personnel operating CFC-owned vehicles.
(C) Note: the positions identified above as being “safety sensitive “ include, but are not limited to, those regulated under 49 C.F.R. part 40. While this program includes those federally mandated employees, this subchapter is not intended to replace and shall be separate from any drug- and alcohol- free workplace policy previously adopted and implemented by CFC which may have included only federally regulated employees.
