This is being proposed to: <br /> <br />· reduce the risk of injury and death to employees and the <br /> general public, <br /> <br />· facilitate high employee performance levels, <br /> <br />· reduce liability exposure, and <br /> <br />· maintain citizen confidence. <br /> <br />The current pre-employment drug testing policy has been in place over four <br />years and screened out more than twenty applicants for positive drug tests. <br />With the increased availability of drugs in our nation it would be prudent to <br />expand our program by testing employees: <br /> <br />working in safety sensitive positions (paramedics, law <br />enforcement officers, those regularly driving vehicles in the <br />performance of duties, etc.), <br /> <br />· applying for safety sensitive positions, <br /> <br /> Human Resources Department <br /> <br />P.
