Drug Policy and AkanStaff Handbook / Health, Environment & Safety |
1. Purpose of the procedure:
Yabimo companies perform tasks with a relatively high risk to the health and life of people, the environment and equipment. Drug and alcohol use leads to reduced judgment and increases the risk of injury.
In order to protect the health and life of our employees, we have developed a procedure to contribute to a safe and good working environment. The procedure is related to Yabimo's drug policy and labor and drug guidelines.
The aim is to lay down clear rules on drugs at work and on the prevention of drug addiction. The procedure applies to every employee and contractor working for Yabimo companies.
2. Responsibility:
It is the employer's responsibility to implement and follow this procedure, as well as any manager responsible for personnel on their behalf.
3. Commission:
A special AKAN committee – a subcommittee of the AMU – has been set up within the company to develop and implement issues related to drug policy and case-by-case monitoring. Employee representatives, i.e. those elected to the AKAN Committee, are the contact persons for the company at AKAN.
4. Definitions
· Drugs include alcohol, narcotic substances and other narcotics.
· Illicit drugs are any drug that has not been obtained legally (by prescription) and/or used in an unprescribed manner and is used by a person other than the person for whom it is prescribed.
· Attention !
Sedatives prescribed by your doctor, such as those marked in red with a triangle, should not be used for high-risk work.
5. Goal Setting
· All employees must have a clear stance that drugs and work do not go hand in hand
· all employees must be familiar with Yabimo's drug policy
· All employees must be familiar with drug procedures
6. Drug Policy - Guidelines
· It has been established that any form of illicit drug use prohibited in Norway is incompatible with the employment relationship or the employment relationship of staff to other companies. This also applies to leisure time.
· The company is committed to creating a safe and healthy working environment for all employees, so as a company we should care about quality. Working under the influence of drugs is not accepted in any of Yabimo's projects.
· All employees are required to maintain a drug-free work environment. Through drug policy and guidelines on situations of substance abuse at work, we want to dispel the myth that "solidarity" and "kindness" means that we do not see and do not react to violations of the rules set out in drug policy.
· Yabimo companies aim to eliminate incidents of combining drugs, alcohol or illegal drugs with work.
7. Code of Conduct for Drug Policy Violations
· In accordance with the provisions of the Working Environment Act, an employee may be dismissed if it is substantively justified.
