ALCOHOL & SUBSTANCE ABUSE POLICY
It is the purpose of Electrical Staffing to
help provide a drug free environment for our contractors and
employees. Our goal is to prevent accidents, injuries, and to
provide the safest possible working environment. Electrical
Staffing explicitly prohibits the use, possession,
solicitation, sale, distribution, dispensation, or
manufacturing of narcotics or other illegal drugs, alcohol or
prescription medication without a prescription. This applies
to any location where work related activities are being
conducted.
Being impaired or under the influence of legal
or illegal drugs or alcohol off the company or customer
premises that adversely affects the employee’s work
performance, his or her own or others’ safety at the
workplace, or the employers’ reputation may be grounds for
termination.
Electrical Staffing may drug test using
S.A.M.H.S.A. standards by the following methods:
*1. When it is the company’s belief that a
drug problem exists, (such as evidence of drugs, symptoms of
drug abuse, negative
performance patterns, excessive
absenteeism or tardiness) probable cause testing may be
utilized.
*2. In the event of an accident or injury,
within the scope of employment, a drug test will be required
immediately.
3. Pre-Employment & Randomly: When the
contractor’s policy requires all workers on their premises
will be drug screened.
*I agree in the case of #1 or #2 above to not
operate a vehicle to the collection site or home.
Electrical Staffing will not discriminate
against applicants for employment because of past use of
either drugs or alcohol. It is the current use of drugs or
abuse of alcohol, which prevents employee’s from properly
performing their jobs that the company will not tolerate. The
results of all drug testing will be treated confidentially,
and for no purpose other than making employment related
decisions.
I understand that my failure to comply with
this agreement, if I test positive or admit to substance
abuse, will be subject to
disciplinary action, depending upon state
laws, which may be grounds for immediate termination. In
addition, dependent upon state law, a positive test result may
negatively affect your ability to collect workers compensation
payments.
Also, employees of Electrical Staffing who test
positive or admit to substance abuse will be referred to local
public agencies that provide rehabilitation and counseling
services. Call our office for information local to you.
I hereby authorize and give full permission to
have Electrical Staffing and/or their medical company’s
authorized representative to send a specimen of my urine,
hair, breath and/or blood to a laboratory for a screening test
for the presence of illegal drugs, alcohol or prescription
medication taken without a valid prescription.
I will hold all parties concerned harmless,
therefore, I will not sue or hold responsible for any alleged
harm to me, interfering with my obtaining a job, or
discontinuing employment for not submitting to the tests or
because of the test results. This includes, but not limited
to, possible clerical or laboratory error. I understand and
agree that Electrical Staffing will require a drug screen test
as part of the application process, whenever an on the job
accident or injury is reported, or other reasons to suspect
possible drug use arise, in accordance with Electrical
Staffing's policies.
SAFETY
POLICY
Electrical Staffing‘s safety objective is to
provide our employees with the safest working environment
while on assignment with them, by training and educating them
on safety awareness. Enclosed is a safety guide that you must
read. Also, the contractor should provide the training and
guidance necessary to eliminate unsafe practices and
conditions at the job site. I understand and will comply with
Electrical Staffing's and the contractors safety rules,
regulations and hazardous communication.
Any employee who believes that a violation of a
safety standard exists should bring the situation to the
attention of their supervisor or the appropriate staffing
coordinator. If corrective action has not been taken or a
satisfactory explanation has not been given, you may request a
safety inspection by sending a signed notice to the Department
of Labor.
Electrical Staffing utilizes a progressive
discipline approach for violations of safety and health
policies. This approach includes verbal and written warnings,
suspensions and discharge. Discharge may be used as a first
step, only for major violations.

to:

CONTRACTOR
RULES
I understand that some of Electrical Staffing's
contractors may have additional policies, procedures,
conditions, and security practices, and I agree to comply with
those at will. If I do not adhere to these policies, I
understand that this behavior may be cause for discharge.
INJURY
If I sustain an injury on the job, I will
inform my site supervisor and Electrical Staffing immediately
after the accident. Electrical Staffing will deal promptly
with legitimate claims and has workers compensation insurance
that will pay medical expenses and wages, when applicable.
Electrical Staffing has extensive experience investigating
claims and will fight fraudulent claims with all available
resources.
An onsite representative will accompany me to
the treatment facility. I will authorize and receive a post
accident drug screen. All bills, reports, and updates will be
sent to Electrical Staffing. I will keep Electrical Staffing
informed of my progress and I will inform Electrical Staffing
immediately of my release to work from the Electrical Staffing
appointed doctor. Failure to do so will indicate that I have
voluntarily left the employment of Electrical Staffing, which
is an inactive status unavailable for further assignments.
Electrical Staffing will not be responsible for any injury in
which I am performing tasks not authorized by Electrical
Staffing or the job site’s supervisory staff.
MEDICAL INFORMATION
I understand and authorize Electrical Staffing
to request and obtain all records regarding any industrial
accident or occupational disease involving Electrical Staffing
and myself. This is to include doctor’s reports, follow up
reports, nurse’s notes, medical bills, test results, etc.
EARLY RETURN TO WORK PROGRAM
Electrical Staffing recognizes the need to
provide temporarily modified or light duty work to employees
who are unable to perform regular duties due to work related
illness or injury as soon as the treating physician deems it
medically feasible. Due to the limited amount of modified
work positions available, they will be assigned to Electrical
Staffing on a “first come first serve” basis to those
employees whose work related medical restrictions allow
eligibility for the job positions available. This program
will be for no longer than ninety (90) days per employee.
Employees that have been subject to work
related injury or illness would be returned to work as soon as
the Electrical Staffing's attending physician approves their
return in a capacity for which we have available work. We
will make every attempt to secure useful and productive work
for the employee within their specified work restriction. I
understand that if I refuse an assignment that is within my
work restriction, my workers compensation benefits will be
terminated as of that day. Exceptions to this light duty
policy include return to work under the Family and Medical
Leave Act.
