As a responsible employer, HCL National Inc. has a compelling interest in establishing programs to promote and enhance safety in the workplace. HCL National Inc. has implemented a Drug and Alcohol Policy that is directed at protecting the working environment, the health and safety of employees, co-workers and the general public.

The Drug and Alcohol Policy prohibits the use, transportation and possession of alcohol, drugs or any other substance which could impair a worker's ability to work safely while on duty or in company vehicles and/or accommodation provided by HCL National Inc., and/or our clients. Employees using prescription drugs that may impair their ability to perform their work safely shall disclose this information to their immediate supervisor prior to commencement of work. Anyone in charge of work who knowingly permits a worker to work while that worker's ability to work safety is affected by alcohol, drugs or other substances, will face appropriate disciplinary action which shall be administered by the management of the company or be terminated on a first occurrence. Employees suspended and/or removed from duty will be required to attend a meeting at the head office. Senior management will review each case along with the designated employee.

The Drug and Alcohol Policy combines drug and alcohol testing with education, supervisor training and access to assistance. Drug and Alcohol testing procedures will follow the guidelines and standards of the Standard Council of Canada Laboratory Accreditation Program for Substance Abuse. All drug and alcohol test results are under strict confidentiality and are released by the Medical Review Doctor to the designated company representative or alternate.
