(a) Purpose and Goals. Employees are our most valuable resource and their health and safety is therefore, a serious concern. Drug and alcohol abuse hurts job performance through increased absenteeism, lower job efficiency and increased accident rates.

We are committed to maintaining a safe and healthy workplace, free from the influence of drugs and alcohol.
