Companies Want Help Creating or Updating Their Policies
Members have contacted the PSAI asking for help in creating a policy
that takes into account the availability and increasing legality of
marijuana. As should be clear by now, no single policy will work for
everyone. Companies obligated to include language reflecting federal
law (FMCSRs, MSHA regulations, etc.) should be especially careful
when creating policies and procedures using tools like the DOT
Handbook mentioned above and the employer information on the
FMCSA website.
For companies with more discretion over their policies, there is some
common ground most will want to consider including. A sample policy you can use as a starting point is found on
pages 15–16 of this newsletter. We strongly recommend that your legal counsel reviews any language you adopt
for compliance with applicable laws in your state. The policy you
adopt should also be modified to suit your company's culture, job
classifications, and operational practices.
The PSAI wishes to thank the companies that provided input for
this article and allowed us to review their current policies. We
also thank the members who raised the questions on this topic.
Your contributions help us ensure that Association Insight and
the work of the PSAI is focused on topics that matter to you and
your company. Please direct additional comments or questions to
