ZERO-TOLERANCE DRUG AND ALCOHOL POLICY ComTrans (the “Company”) is committed to maintaining a drug and alcohol free workplace. A healthy and productive work force, working conditions free from the effects of drugs and alcohol, and excellence in the services provided by the Company are important goals to all. It is well documented that the abuse of drugs and alcohol creates a variety of workplace problems. Increases in injuries, absenteeism, a larger financial burden on health and benefit programs, increase in workplace theft, greater liability exposure and declines in morale are some of the problems caused by drug and alcohol abuse. It is the intent and obligation of the Company to provide a healthy and productive work force and safe working conditions free from the effects of drugs and alcohol. Employees are expected and required to report to work in a suitable mental and physical condition for work. In balancing the interests of the Company and its employees and the general public, the Company finds that testing for drugs and alcohol in the workplace is the best interests of all and therefore adopts the following Drug and Alcohol Policy. Therefore, the Company prohibits the following behavior by employees while on Company premises or performing Company business at any location: Use of illegal drugs or prescription drugs obtained illegally Use or possession of medical marijuana, or products containing medical marijuana, by a person who has been issued a registration by the State of Arizona. Abuse of legal (prescription or over-the-counter) drugs. Illegal sale, purchase, transfer, manufacture or possession of controlled substances. Arrival for work, or working, under the influence of drugs or alcohol. “Under the influence” means the presence of an illegal drug or controlled substance in the hair or body fluids at levels of detection above the lowest cutoff levels established by the analytical methods of the collection site selected by the Company or, if required under applicable law, at a level that causes impairment. Violation of this policy will result in reassignment, discipline, or discharge, or the Company, in its sole discretion, may allow an employee who tests positive for drugs (without a medical and/or legal justification) or alcohol a single opportunity to complete an approved rehabilitation program. At the Company’s discretion, such opportunity may or may not be provided to employees in safety-sensitive positions. Eligible employees who fail to complete such a rehabilitation program or who test positive for drugs (without a medical and/or legal justification) or alcohol a second time will be discharged. A drug and/or alcohol screening test can be an effective means by which to identify those in need of counseling, treatment, or disciplinary action. The Company's drug and alcohol testing program is intended to supplement, not replace, other means by which the use of drugs and alcohol can be detected. The Company reserves the right to engage in other means to detect the use or possession of controlled substances and/or alcohol such as workplace searches. PROCEDURE Tests of job applicants and all employees are required as outlined below. A. All job applicants to whom a job offer has been made must undergo a drug test before their hiring is final. Unless prohibited by applicable law, an applicant who tests positive for the use of drugs (without medical and/or legal justification) will not be eligible for hire. B. Drug/Alcohol testing of employees may be conducted under the following circumstances: When there is a reasonable suspicion that the employee is impaired or has used drugs or alcohol. “Reasonable suspicion” is based on articulable observations sufficient to lead a prudent person to suspect that the employee is impaired or under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol (including, but not limited to, symptoms of the employee’s speech, walking, standing, physical dexterity, agility, coordination, actions, movement, demeanor, appearance, clothing, odor, irrational or unusual behavior, negligence or carelessness in operating equipment, machinery, or production or manufacturing processes, disregard for the safety of the employee or others, involvement in an accident that results in serious damage to equipment, machinery, or property, disruption of a production or manufacturing process, any injury to the employee or others or other symptoms causing a reasonable suspicion of the use of drugs or alcohol).

Tests may screen for the following substances or their metabolites: alcohol, amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, cocaine, methadone, opiates, propoxyphene, phencyclidine, methaqualone, mood or mind-altering substances, “look-alike” substances, designer and/or synthetic drugs, certain inhalants, and unauthorized prescription or registered drugs. Employees tested should notify laboratory or collection site personnel of information that could affect test results, including identification of currently or recently used prescription or nonprescription drugs. G. Employees must participate in the reasonable suspicion, post-accident, or other designated drug/alcohol testing programs. Employees selected under any of these programs must report to the Company designated collection site within two (2) hours of notification of selection under any of these testing programs. The Company will provide reasonable transportation costs to current employees if their required tests are conducted at a location other than the employee's normal work site. The employee will be required to provide a sample within eight (8) hours of arrival at the Collection Site. A team member’s inability to provide a sample within the eight (8) hour limit may result in termination of employment. H. As to each type of testing, the Company requires that the test results affirmatively indicate a negative result. A test will not be deemed adequate or determinative if the results are either “positive” or “inconclusive.” When a test result is “positive,” the employee must produce medical or legal justification for the test result and the Company, in its sole discretion, may authorize a re-test. When a result is deemed “inconclusive” the Company may, in its sole discretion, authorize a re-test. EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITIES A. Each employee shall report for drug/alcohol testing as instructed. Failure to report will be considered a refusal to submit to the test. B.

Employees who are required to use prescription drugs, medical marijuana, or over-the-counter medications are responsible for being aware of any effect such drug may have on the safe performances of their duties. Accordingly, the employee is responsible for asking his or her physician whether the prescribed or registered drug or medication may impair the employee’s ability to perform his or her job in a safe manner. If the prescribed or registered drug may have such an impact, then the employee must report the use of such substances to his or her supervisor prior to reporting for work. When an employee fails to comply with this requirement, a physician’s prescription or certification will not be an acceptable excuse for the use or being under the influence of, or have an impairment related to, such drug or medication.
