or illegal substances in the work place is strictly prohibited and will lead to my immediate discharge from employment.

For purposes of this Policy, "drugs" or "illegal substances" or "controlled substances" is defined to include illegal
street drugs, legal drugs either taken for non-medical reasons or without a valid prescription and alcohol, but not to
include prescription medication taken in accordance with a physician's prescription and instructions. I also understand
that the presence of such substances in my system during work hours places unacceptable risk and burden on the safe
and efficient operation of my job, and, consequently, is strictly forbidden.

I understand that if I am a Transit employee or an employee required to have a CDL I will be tested in accordance
with testing requirements established by Federal regulations. I understand that if I work in a safety-sensitive position

drug and/or alcohol testing in cases of vehicle accidents, even though there may be no injuries.

I also understand that my arrest and/or conviction for off-the-job drug and/or alcohol activities, including driving
under the influence, may constitute grounds for reasonable suspicion and a for-cause illegal substances screening, and
may cause me to have action taken against me, taking into consideration (among other things), the nature of the charges,
my job assignment and my record with the Augusta, Georgia Commission.

cooperation with, and adherence to, policies and procedures regarding substance abuse are conditions of my
employment and that if I violate or am insubordinate by refusing to cooperate with any of these policies and procedures,
