jeopardized when a Life Bridges, Inc. employee illegally uses drugs or alcohol on the job, comes to work under their influence, or possesses,
distributes or sells drugs or alcohol in the workplace; therefore, Life Bridges, Inc. has established the following policy:

It is the responsibility of the company's supervisors to counsel employees whenever they see changes in performance or behavior that suggest an employee has a drug or alcohol
problem. Although it is not the supervisor's job to diagnose personal problems, the supervisor should encourage such employees to seek help and advise them about available resources
for getting help. Everyone shares responsibility for maintaining a safe work environment and co-workers should encourage anyone who may have a drug or alcohol problem to seek help.
The goal of this policy is to balance our respect for individuals with the need to maintain a safe, productive, and drug-free environment. The intent of
this policy is to offer a helping hand to those who need it, while sending a clear message that the illegal use of drugs is incompatible with employment
