PREVENTION AND ERADICATION OF DRUG, ALCOHOL AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE (PEDAS)

The CCM Group is committed to providing a safe and healthy work environment that is consistent with promoting and fostering employee safety, health and well being.

The company views seriously the case of employees (or contractors on site) using illegal drugs or indulging in alcohol and other substance abuse at the workplace. Appropriate action will be instituted against anyone who presents himself at work under the influence of illegal substances or, possesses, distributes, or sells illegal drugs in the workplace.

The PEDAS policy is designed to ensure that we fulfil our obligations to our employees, shareholders, customers, the public and the relevant statutory authorities. The intent of this policy is to offer a helping hand to those who need it while sending a clear message that illegal drugs use, alcohol and substance abuse are totally unacceptable.

To fully comply with all statutory requirements and the Group’s Safety and Health standards, the PEDAS policy stipulates that it is a violation for any employee to:-

	Possess, sell, trade or offer for sale illegal drugs or otherwise engage in the use of illegal drugs or alcohol and other substance abuse while at work.
	Report to work under the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol.
	Use prescription drugs illegally at the workplace – where there are any doubts, the employee must seek clarification with the supervisor.

Anyone violating the PEDAS policy will be subject to strict disciplinary action in line with company disciplinary procedures, including dismissal. The company reserves the right to search employee’s personal belongings and to conduct “random test” and “test for cause” on anyone where there is reason to believe non-conformance with the above policy.

Where there is reason to believe that an employee has an alcohol, drug or other substance abuse problem, the supervisor should offer personal advice, counsel the employee, encourage him/her to seek professional help and advise the employee concerned about available resources for getting such help.

The implementation of this policy will be a prime consideration in the management of occupational safety and health related activities in the Group.
