Required Drug Testing: Mission retains the right to require the following tests:
➢ Pre-employment: All applicants must pass a drug test before commencing employment
with Mission. Refusal to submit to testing will result in disqualification of further
employment consideration.
➢ Reasonable suspicion: Employees are subject to testing based on observations by a
supervisor/manager of apparent workplace use, possession or impairment. If an employee
is demonstrating an unusual pattern of behavior, supervisors/managers should immediately
report this observation to the head of the People Operations or his/her designee. The head
of the People Operations or his/her designee will determine whether the employee should
be examined by a physician or a clinic and/or tested for drugs, alcohol and/or narcotics.
Employees believed to be under the influence of drugs, alcohol or narcotics should not be
allowed to work. Employees should make arrangements for their safe transit to and from
work and any testing facility.
Note: Employees working in the Distribution area of Mission’s manufacturing
facility are required to take a drug test on a minimum of five (5) year intervals or
as required to meet regulatory requirements.
➢ Post-accident: Whenever an on-the-job accident occurs that causes an injury needing
medical attention and/or damage to property, all employees whose conduct did or
reasonably could have caused or contributed to such accident will be subject to drug testing.
