tolerated. If an employee is found in the possession of drugs or alcohol or under the influence of <br />drugs or alcohol while on the job, several courses of action may be taken by the employee's <br />immediate supervisor, including but not limited to: immediate termination, mandatory <br />rehabilitation programs, and suspension without pay. <br />Prescription and over-the-counter drugs are not prohibited when taken in standard dosage <br />and/or according to a physician's prescription. Any employee taking prescribed or over-the- <br />counter medications will be responsible for consulting the prescribing physician and/or <br />pharmacist to ascertain whether the medication may interfere with safe performance of his/her <br />job. If the use of a medication could compromise the safety of the employee, fellow employees <br />or the public, it is the employee's responsibility to use appropriate personnel procedures (e.g., <br />call in sick, use leave, request change of duty, notify supervisor) to avoid unsafe workplace <br />practices. If a prescription drug may impair the completion of the employee's normal duties, it <br />will be the supervisor's responsibility to initiate a suitable course of action. <br />The illegal or unauthorized use of prescription drugs is prohibited. It is a violation of our drug- <br />free workplace policy to intentionally misuse and/or abuse prescription medications. <br />Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken if job performance deterioration and/or other <br />accidents occur. <br />3.1.3 Behavior-Based Safety Observation Process <br />AMSO's Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) observation process will be in effect at all job sites. The <br />process is designed to support recognition of unsafe practices, facilitate problem solving and <br />resolution of safety concerns, and promote continuous improvement. The process is <br />implemented by employees conducting observations and providing feedback on safety practices <br />within the work area. The employee records the task being performed, observation(s) of unsafe <br />practice, and suggested actions to mitigate the unsafe practice on a HMSO BBS form (Appendix <br />A). BBS Observation Forms will be kept readily available at each work site, and completed <br />forms will be submitted directly to the SSHO or designee, who is responsible for maintaining <br />completed forms. The information provided on the form is shared with the project team during <br />the following daily tailgate safety meeting. The SSHO adds the feedback/input provided by the <br />project team, documents the actions taken to mitigate the unsafe practice, and provides the <br />El
