Who must be notified by the Deputy Chief after a referral for drug testing?

The Deputy Chief is required to notify the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Coordinator after a referral for drug testing. This is crucial because the EAP Coordinator plays an essential role in providing support and assistance to employees undergoing drug testing. They can guide the individual through the process, offer counseling services, and help ensure that the employee receives appropriate care, if necessary.

In this context, having the EAP Coordinator informed allows for a structured approach to addressing potential substance abuse issues, promoting an environment of well-being, and ensuring compliance with organizational policies surrounding drug testing. This also facilitates communication and ensures that the employee can access resources that may aid them in addressing any underlying issues related to drug use.
