Effective May 1st, 2019, Halifax Water implemented a Fit For Duty policy. The purpose of this policy is to promote a safe and healthy work environment and to enhance the safety and health of Employees.
All Halifax Water work requires our Employees to be alert, to exercise good judgment and in some cases to be physically coordinated. In addition, much of the work performed by Halifax Water Employees may be potentially hazardous when Employees are not alert, do not exercise good judgment and/or are not physically coordinated. These factors could lead to a potentially serious Incident or Near Miss.
The use of Drugs and Alcohol in the workplace can adversely affect job performance, the health, safety or security of Employees, other persons, property, the environment, or individual and corporate reputation. Being unfit for duty through the use of Drugs and Alcohol affects our Employees’ ability to safely and properly perform their employment responsibilities. Halifax Water is a Drug and Alcohol‐free workplace. The health and safety of our Employees and the general public is Halifax Water’s highest priority. Consequently, the purpose of this Policy is to provide a working environment that is free of the effects of Drug and Alcohol use, and to ensure that all employees are treated fairly and consistently, with dignity and respect. Awareness and education for all Employees and early detection and access to treatment for those Employees with Drug and Alcohol addiction/dependencies helps to maintain a safe and healthy workplace.
I am really enjoying my time working at Halifax Water. It’s been a great place to learn and grow as an operator and professionally. They provide great benefits, not only with health and pension, but also fitness and education, which I’ve been taking advantage. The people I work with are wonderful and make the day fun and interesting. It’s been challenging, but I just say, bring it on!
Water is perhaps one of the most important resources in our society today and increasingly so in the future. Knowing this gives me a sense of importance in the work I do and I feel morally great about working with Halifax Water to provide safe, potable drinking water to thousands of people.
