with the subject matter as this Contract, the provisions of this Contract shall control unless modified pursuant to the strict application of Section 23 below.

(c) If the performance of any of Contractor’s and its subcontractors’ employees on Company’s property appears
erratic or impaired or after any accident or safety violation where, in Company’s sole opinion, such employee’s actions indicate that the accident or violation could reasonably have been caused by alcohol or drug use, Company may direct
Contractor to remove such employee from Company’s property at Contractor’s sole cost. No employee so removed shall be permitted to return to Company’s property without first undergoing a medical examination that establishes to
Company’s satisfaction that the condition was not drug or alcohol related. 
 (d) Company reserves the right to
undertake a search of Contractor’s and its subcontractors’ employees personal effects that are located on Company’s property at any time during the performance of the Work to ascertain whether such employees have in their possession
drugs, alcohol or any other controlled dangerous substance and the unexcused possession of such will constitute cause for Company to immediately seek replacement of such employees. 

(e) Notwithstanding any compliance by Contractor with the requirements set forth herein, and notwithstanding Company’s
satisfaction with Contractor’s means of demonstrating compliance herewith, Contractor shall be and remain fully responsible for any and all failures, and the consequences thereof, to ensure that its and its subcontractors’ employees are
drug and alcohol free in transit while working on Company’s property.
