Purpose and Scope
To formalize a departmental policy that ensures University personnel, students and guests an environment safe from incidents related to alcoholic beverages and intoxicating or illegal drugs. To eliminate potential problems, this policy is in effect at all times during the scheduled workday. All permanent full-time, part-time, seasonal, and student employees of the Physical Facilities Department are hereby covered.
Policy
No employee (staff member, administrator, manager) shall consume, have in his/her possession, or be under the influence of alcoholic beverages or intoxicating or illegal drugs during the course of his/her scheduled work day (this includes scheduled meal times and other breaks). Possession includes having the substance in any University building, facility, adjacent grounds, or University vehicle.
Any employee observed violating this policy will be held liable for injury or damage and subject to disciplinary action.
Procedure
Any incident in which an employee is found to be violating the Department's and/or University's alcoholic and intoxicating or illegal drug policy must be immediately reported to your immediate supervisor.
In the event an employee is observed as being under the influence of alcohol or illegal or intoxicating drugs, the Miami University Police Department will be notified immediately. To the best of your ability, do not allow the person to drive away from the work place. If he/she is successful in doing so, call the Miami University Police Department immediately and advise them of the situation.
