Drug Screening
Effective
February 28, 2000, the Northern
California Laborers Training Center has implemented a drug testing
program. This program is for all apprentices and trainees who enroll
in any course of one week or longer in duration at the
Training Center.
The drug testing program has the purpose of: protecting the health
and safety of apprentices, trainees, and staff at the Training
Center and on job sites; encouraging freedom from drug dependency;
and enhancing worker reliability, employability, and job safety.
All apprentices and trainees will be required to submit to a drug
test. This test will be conducted by an independent laboratory
approved by the Department of Health and Human Services. Guidelines
have been set so that all results remain confidential.
Any apprentice or trainee who refuses to take, or fails to pass,
the drug test will not be allowed to attend any classes at the
Training Center. Any individual who fails the drug test will be
referred to an assistance program and will be administratively
suspended from the Training Center until he/she successfully completes
the treatment program prescribed by the assistance program
