ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION!
Please be advised that all positions designated as ‘Safety Sensitive’ are subject to a higher degree of scrutiny and include THC Metabolites in the drug panel as a disqualifier.
A safety sensitive position is one where the employee is responsible for his/her own safety or other people’s safety. It requires a sharp mind to perform the job safely and responsibly. Some safety sensitive positions require random drug-screening to ensure compliance with DOT and other safety regulations as well as other certification requirements. If an applicant fails a pre-employment drug screen, they will not be allowed to re-apply with the EBCI for at least 60 days.
