Policy
Substance abuse in the workplace poses undue health and safety risks for the user and all others in our environment. It is every employee's responsibility to make Fermilab a drug-free workplace. Resources are available to assist an employee with a potential substance abuse problem before it becomes a disciplinary concern. Evaluations and referrals can be arranged through the laboratory physician or the employee assistance counselor. All such referrals shall be kept strictly confidential.
Employees shall notify the Laboratory of any criminal drug statute conviction for a violation that occurred in the workplace within five days of such a conviction. All employees are obliged to abide by the terms of this policy as a condition of continued employment.
