RESTAURANT TEAM MEMBER HANDBOOK - EthicsPoint

either “preventable or non-preventable” according to the guidelines outlined
in the Company’s safety manual. Drivers have ten (10) business days to
appeal a determination that an accident was “preventable.” If appealed, the
Accident Review Committee (see Safety Manual) will review the file and
issue its final determination within thirty (30) days. The committee consists
of a previously designated driver, manager from the Region and the
Company’s HR representative who will chair the committee. The decision of
the committee is final. If an accident is determined to be preventable, the
appropriate corrective action will be determined at the discretion of the Area
Vice President/Director of Operations.
Preventable versus Non-Preventable
Preventable: An accident in which the driver in question failed to do
everything he/she could possibly do to prevent the accident. It is an accident
involving Company business that resulted in property damage and/or
personal injury, regardless of who was injured, what property was damaged,
to what extent, or where it occurred. Any accident ruled preventable will
result in disciplinary action up to and including termination at the
Company’s discretion.
Non-Preventable: An accident in which the driver did everything possible to
prevent the accident. Any accident ruled non-preventable will be placed in
the team member’s file. Two or more non-preventable accidents within a
consecutive 12-month period may result in termination in the discretion of
the Company.
Drug and Alcohol Free Workplace
Use of alcohol, illegal drugs or controlled substances, whether on or off the
job, can adversely affect a team member’s work performance, efficiency,
safety and health and therefore seriously impair the team member’s value to
the Company. Furthermore, the use or possession of these substances on the
job constitutes a potential danger to the welfare and safety of other team
members and exposes the Company to the risks of property loss or damage
or injury to other persons.
The following are strictly prohibited by the Company either on the Company
property or during the workday (including meal and rest periods):
• Possessing, using, selling, distributing or being under the influence of
alcohol or an illegal or controlled substance while on the job or on Company
premises.
