An =
employee must
notify Human Resources whenever the employee is using a prescription or
over-the-counter drug which may potentially affect safety or work =
performance.
In deciding whether such a drug may affect safety and/or work =
performance, the
employee should rely on the warnings or cautions that accompany that =
particular
legal drug.&nbsp; The Company does not seek information on all legal =
drugs that
an employee may be taking, but only those where there is an indication =
that the
drug may affect performance, or where there is a caution that one should =
not
engage in certain activities that are a part of the employee&#8217;s job =
duties
while taking the drug.
