DRUG & ALCOHOL POLICY
KEC recognizes that an employee's state of health may affect his ability to perform his job, may
restrict
the kind of work he can perform and may affect his future employability. The Company will in principle
give the same consideration to employees with dependencies on alcohol and/or drugs as it does to
employees having a disease.
The Company is concerned only with those situations where the use of alcohol or drugs interferes with
the employee's health, safety or job performance adversely affects the safety or the job performance
of other employees or is considered to be so serious as to be detrimental to the Company's
business.
It will not permit any individual to use alcohol or drugs on its premises nor will it allow an
individual who
may be under the influence of alcohol or drugs to enter the workplace or Company premises.
In line with KEC’s commitment to Health, Safety and the Environment (HSE), and in compliance with
our QHSE Management System, we shall maintain a healthy, effective and safety conscious work
culture by:
To implement such a culture KEC will:
• Prohibiting drugs and other related forms of substance abuse.
• Prohibiting self-use, manufacture, sale, possession or distribution of drugs and other such
related substances. (Apart from medical prescription)
• Reserving the right to search any employee and his/her personal belongings for drugs within the
work locations.
• Taking disciplinary action, including termination of employment, on any employee who violates
this policy.
• Expecting our contractors to apply the same principles to their employees contracted to provide
services to the Company.
Employees are prohibited from arriving at Company premises whilst unfit because of the effects of such
drugs, or from using such drugs on Company premises. Any employee in breach of this ruling will be
subject to disciplinary action and/or dismissal. Any employee found in possession of, or trafficking
in
these drugs, either as a buyer or seller, whilst on Company premises will be dismissed.
