DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE POLICY

Our Company is a drug-free workplace that conducts pre-employment drug testing, post accident drug testing, random drug testing, and drug and alcohol testing for reasonable suspicion. We do not tolerate the violation of our Drug and Alcohol Abuse Policy for any reason. Violations of the policy can pose a danger to you, your fellow employees, and our customers. It can also affect our Company's good will, good name and everyone's job security. Quite simply, neither the Company nor you can afford it! A copy of the Drug and Alcohol Abuse Policy is permanently posted on the bulletin board and is reviewed with each employee. If you have any questions concerning the policy, please discuss them with your supervisor or the POS Site Manager. Our bakery prepares and distributes food products to the public. A high standard of conduct and care is required from all of us. Our future success depends, in large measure, upon the responsible behavior and well-being of our employees. Because we are in business of producing food products for the public, we must take every step possible to produce food of high quality and purity. The illegal use of drugs [ l ] and misuse of alcohol are directly contrary to our responsibilities to the public and inconsistent with law-abiding behavior, which is expected of everyone. Furthermore, we also use machinery, equipment, and tools that must be treated and operated very carefully and under complete control for the sake of the safety.

[2] We hope everyone realizes that if drug or alcohol abuse is going on, to any extent, by anyone, it must be stopped immediately. It poses a danger to everyone. Anyone who believes this policy is being violated is strongly encouraged to let management know. Any such reports will be kept confidential to the extent practical. To protect our customers and our employees' safety and health, we take a number of steps to ensure that our policy is followed. These steps may include searches, at Company discretion, of lockers, lunch boxes, toolboxes, vehicles, desks, clothing, and work areas. It may also include drug and/or alcohol testing whenever the Company suspects that an employee's work
