SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES
SUBSTANCE ABUSE
It is Police FCU's policy to provide employees and members with a work environment that is free from
the use and abuse of alcohol, illegal drugs, and legal drugs unlawfully obtained. All employees are
expected to be in such mental and physical condition as may be required to perform their assigned
tasks in a professional and competent manner. An inability to meet these standards will result in
disciplinary action up to and including employment termination.
The misuse of alcohol that affects job performance is strictly prohibited and is cause for disciplinary
action up to and including employment termination. The use of illegal drugs or legal drugs unlawfully
obtained at any time is prohibited, and if discovered will be cause for disciplinary action up to and
including employment termination. As such, Police FCU has adopted a policy that all employees must
report to work completely free from the presence of drugs and the effects of alcohol. This policy does
not prevent the use or possession of over-the-counter or prescription drugs where such use or
possession of medication is consistent with doctor’s orders and required dosage specifically
prescribed for the employee. The sale or distribution of alcohol or illegal drugs is absolutely prohibited
at any time and is cause for immediate employment termination.
The Credit Union may choose to require any employee to submit to a drug or alcohol test at any time.
Any such test will be administered in a manner consistent with prevailing law, collection protocol, and
in a manner intended to preserve personal dignity. A positive test for alcohol during working hours
for illegal drugs, or any refusal to be tested, or tampering with a test shall be cause for disciplinary
action up to and including employment termination.
The lawful and responsible use of alcohol during non-work hours is at the discretion of the individual
provided it is not on Police FCU property and does not interfere with one’s ability to report for work
fully capable of performing one’s duties and responsibilities.
SMOKE-FREE WORKPLACE
The Credit Union encourages promoting a healthy and clean work environment for employees,
members, and visitors. We believe every employee has the right to work in an area free of
environmental tobacco smoke; therefore, consistent with state laws prohibiting smoking in the
workplace there will be no smoking of any kind allowed inside any of the Police FCU facilities. All Police
FCU branches have designated areas for smoking and employees should abide by these assigned
locations.
