Workplace safety is a top priority for SRP. Being under the influence of marijuana at work can significantly impact an employee’s ability to safely perform their job.
For this reason and pursuant to federal law, SRP considers marijuana to be an illegal drug for purposes of this policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with Arizona’s medical marijuana law, SRP does not discriminate against applicants or employees based on their status as a patient enrolled in a medical cannabis registry program.
Even if an individual’s use of marijuana may otherwise be permissible under Arizona law, the use or possession of marijuana or being under the influence or impaired by marijuana on SRP property or while performing work for SRP is strictly prohibited.
