Security Inspections

Frenchman ’ s Creek wishes to maintain a work environment that is free of illegal drugs, alcohol, firearms, explosives, or other improper materials. To this end, Frenchman ’ s Creek prohibits the possession, transfer, sale, or use of such materials on its premises and specifically in the workplace. Frenchman ’ s Creek requires the cooperation of all employees in administering this policy. Desks, lockers, and other storage devices may be provided for the convenience of employees but remain the sole property of Frenchman ’ s Creek. Accordingly, any agent or representative of Frenchman ’ s Creek can inspect the desks, lockers, and other storage devices, as well as any articles found within them, at any time, either with or without prior notice. Frenchman ’ s Creek wishes to discourage theft or unauthorized possession of the property of employees, Frenchman ’ s Creek, visitors, and members. To facilitate enforcement of this policy, Frenchman ’ s Creek or its representatives may inspect not only desks and lockers but also persons entering and/or leaving the premises and any packages or other belongings. Any employee who wishes to avoid inspection of any articles or materials should not bring such items onto Frenchman ’ s Creek property. Excluded from this policy are firearms lawfully stored in employee vehicles pursuant to a valid concealed weapons ’ permit. Frenchman ’ s Creek is committed to preventing workplace violence and to maintaining a safe work environment. Given the increasing violence in society in general, Frenchman ’ s Creek has adopted the following guidelines to deal with intimidation, harassment, or other threats of (or actual) violence that may occur during business hours or on its premises. All employees, including supervisors and temporary employees, should be treated with courtesy and respect at all times. Employees are expected to refrain from fighting, “ horseplay, ” or other conduct that may be dangerous to others. Illegal firearms, weapons, and other dangerous or hazardous devices or substances are prohibited from Frenchman ’ s Creek without proper authorization. Conduct that threatens, intimidates, or coerces another employee, customer, or member of the public at any time, including off-duty periods, will not be tolerated. This prohibition includes all acts of harassment, including harassment or discrimination that is based on an individual ’ s status as protected by federal, state or local law. All threats or acts of violence, both direct and indirect, should be reported as soon as possible to your immediate supervisor or to management. This includes threats by employees, members, vendors, or any other persons. When reporting a threat of violence, you should be as specific and detailed as possible. Workplace Violence Prevention
