(c) Each supervisor is responsible for taking appropriate action whenever a team member's judgment or performance appears to be impaired under Section PAP.9.11.090 of this manual.

(d) When a team member observes the use, sale or possession of alcohol, illegal drugs, or prescribed medication by fellow team members in the work environment, the team member must notify and document on an Incident Report to their immediate supervisor, and Manager on Duty, Human Resources Director, or designee.

(e) Following an incident that falls under this policy, it is essential that all managers and supervisors involved record all actions, observations, statements, or other pertinent facts, including dates, time, location and witnesses to the incident.
