LESSON LEARNED April 13,1995 1 01 Security Team Members FROM; Kent Kulow @

Operations Supervisor

SUBJECT:

CONTINUED BEHAVIORAL OBSERVATION It is the responsibility of all employees to report to work Fit For Duty, both physically and mentally. An important element towards assuring that this is met is our Continuous Behavior Observation Program (CBOP).

In the work environment, Supervisors are responsible for observing employee behavior.

Employee behavior which adversely reflects upon an individuals trustworthiness and/or reliability can be deemed a Fitness For Duty concern. Supervision shall take immediate corrective action to include, but not limited to, relieving the employee from duty, documentation / investigation of event, and notification of appropriate Management Personnel.

We must be aware that there may be contributing factors for apparent aberrant behavior.

Examples include, but are not limited to, mental stress, fatigue,i!! ness, or use of medication.

These factors shot!d be identified and looked at during the investigative process.

SUMMARY

FFD issues are not limited to illegal drugs or alcohol concerns. Aberrant employee behavior may also be an FFD concern. Whether an FFD concern is drug, alcohol, or behavior related immediate corrective action must be taken to remove the individual from site, inactivate their badge, and contact of appropriate Management Personnel. An investigation of the incident and review of reportability aspects is also required.
