Workplace Safety

Drug-Free and Alcohol-Free Workplace

It is the policy of Cadence OneFive to maintain a workplace free from illegal drugs- and alcohol that is safe and productive for employees and others having business with the company.

Individuals under the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol on the job pose serious safety and health risks not only to themselves, but also to all those who surround or come in contact with the user. Therefore, possessing, using, consuming, purchasing, distributing, manufacturing, dispensing or selling alcohol or controlled substances, or having alcohol or controlled substances in your system without medical authorization during your work hours, or working while impaired by cannabis with symptoms that objectively indicate an individual’s performance of duties are decreased or lessened as a result, is prohibited and will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

Any employee violating this policy is subject to discipline, up to and including termination, for the first offense.

Workplace Violence Prevention

Cadence OneFive is committed to providing a safe, violence-free workplace for our employees. Due to this commitment, we discourage employees from engaging in any physical confrontation with a violent or potentially violent individual or from behaving in a threatening or violent manner. Threats, threatening language, or any other acts of aggression or violence made toward or by any employee will not be tolerated. A threat may include any verbal or physical harassment or abuse; attempts to intimidate others; menacing gestures; stalking; or any other hostile, aggressive, and/or destructive actions taken for the purposes of intimidation. This policy covers any violent or potentially violent behavior that occurs in the workplace or at company-sponsored functions.

All Cadence OneFive employees bear the responsibility of keeping our work environment free from violence or potential violence. Any employee who witnesses or is the recipient of violent behavior should promptly inform their supervisor, manager, or HR department. All threats will be promptly investigated. No employee will be subject to retaliation, intimidation, or discipline as a result of reporting a threat in good faith under this guideline.

Any individual engaging in violence against the company, its employees, or its property will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. All acts will be investigated, and the appropriate action will be taken. Any such act or threatening behavior may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.

The company reserves the right to inspect all belongings of employees on its premises, including packages, briefcases, purses and handbags, gym bags, and personal vehicles on company property. In addition, Cadence OneFive may inspect the contents of lockers, storage areas, file cabinets, desks, and workstations at any time and may remove all company property and other items that are in violation of company rules and policies.

Commitment to Safety

Protecting the safety of our employees and visitors is the most important aspect of running our business.

All employees have the opportunity and responsibility to contribute to a safe work environment by using common sense rules and safe practices and by notifying management when any health or safety issues are present. All employees are encouraged to partner with management to ensure maximum safety for all.

In the event of an emergency, notify the appropriate emergency personnel by dialing 9 for an outside line, then dialing 911 to activate the medical emergency services.

Any workplace injury, accident, or illness must be reported to the employee’s supervisor as soon as possible, regardless of the severity of the injury or accident.
