English - Prometric

Drugs and Alcohol
Don’t use illegal drugs, misuse alcohol or abuse prescription drugs while
conducting Company business.
Alcohol and drugs can impair your ability to work effectively and can endanger
you and those around you. Prometric prohibits the possession, use, sale or
distribution of illegal drugs, including nonprescription controlled substances,
while conducting Company business on or off Company premises. Employees
should also not report for duty with levels of alcohol in their system that could
impair job performance.
These types of activity are grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including
termination. As involvement with certain drugs is illegal, you may also be
subject to arrest and prosecution by law enforcement agencies. Where
allowable by law, Prometric reserves the right to take appropriate steps to
investigate compliance, including pre-employment screening and random
testing by qualified medical professionals, where there is a reasonable
suspicion of a violation.
Q: Is there somewhere I can
go for help or counseling related
to alcohol or drugs?
A: If you are experiencing a
difficult personal problem, such
as alcoholism or drug abuse (or
even something unrelated –
such as marital or family
distress), we encourage you to
use the Employee Assistance
Program or LifeWorks, which
offers services independently of
the Company. Any information
that you may share with them is
confidential. If you are located in
a country that does not have an
Employee Assistance Program
or LifeWorks, you should feel
free to contact your Human
Resources representative for
information about similar
services that may be available in
your location.
