Safety

Beyond All Other Pursuits, We Keep a Safe Work Environment

Drug & Alcohol Policy

The use of drugs or alcohol can impair a person’s judgment and lead to serious consequences on a construction site. Impaired individuals will not be tolerated on Valard Construction sites.

Anyone suspected to be under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs will be immediately escorted out of the work area. That person will be dealt with as dictated by following Valard’s Substance Abuse Program. The program is monitored, maintained and rigorously enforced by the Executive VP of Health, Safety and Environment, the President and the Project Manager.
