3.0 General

3.1 Purpose

The purpose of the Union Pacific Drug and Alcohol Policy is to ensure compliance with applicable federal regulations and to establish policies, priorities, and objectives for the company’s drug and alcohol control program. This policy prohibits the illegal use of drugs at any time and any use of alcohol in the workplace, on company property, or after accepting a call to duty, if employee is on call.

3.2 Union Pacific Commitment

• Union Pacific is committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment that facilitates the highest level of employee productivity and customer focus.

• To meet this commitment, Union Pacific will comply with the requirement of the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988, the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991, and with the drug and alcohol testing requirements of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

3.3 A Health Problem

• Union Pacific has long recognized that substance abuse is a health problem which can be successfully addressed.

• Our EAP was developed to assist employees with personal and work-related problems. However, many substance abusers deny their problems and do not seek help voluntarily.

• For this reason, the Union Pacific and union leadership have committed to the principles of education, self-referral, and co-worker intervention.

3.4 Required Compliance

• This statement of policy and procedure supersedes all prior statements of policy and procedure governing drug and alcohol use by Union Pacific employees.

• Compliance with the requirements of this policy is a condition of employment at Union Pacific.
