The use of legal drugs, that are prescribed by licensed physicians for a specific
medical purpose is not prohibited. However, such drugs can and often do have a direct
impact on the vigilance, judgment and/or coordination of the employee and may adversely
affect the employee's job performance and the employee's ability to work in a safe
and efficient manner. This is particularly true in safety-sensitive assignments involving
the operation of motor vehicles and other moving equipment. Therefore, an employee
for whom a licensed physician or dentist prescribes a controlled substance must advise
the supervisor immediately in order that an evaluation can be made on the impact,
if any, on the safe and efficient operation of the city. Detection of a controlled
substance will be presumed to be in violation of this policy unless the employee advises
the supervisor of its medicinal use in advance. The supervisor must immediately advise
the department head of such use by the employee.
