The use of controlled substances as part of a prescribe medical treatment program is not grounds for disciplinary action unless the use is inconsistent with the amount or manner in which it was prescribed by a health care professional or directed for over-the-counter usage. Employees’ drug use may affect their ability to work safely and efficiently, such as by causing dizziness or drowsiness. Over-the-counter medications that warn against operation of vehicles or equipment after use are included in this policy. It is the employee’s responsibility to determine from their health care provider whether a prescribed drug may impair job performances and, if so, to notify the College so that appropriate action may be taken.
