  that your co-worker has been using alcohol or
  drugs (whether impaired or not) immediately stop
  what you are doing and tell you co-worker that
  you cannot work with him/her. Advise your
  co-worker that you must mark him/her off
  Operation RedBlock. A call must be made to a

  that you have a REDBLOCK situation, he/she will
  assist when necessary in getting your co- worker
  off duty and safely off the property. No
  discipline will be administered and no records
  will be kept. Once the incident is over and the
  employee is off duty, notify a RedBlock team
  member of the incident so that help can be
  offered confidentially to the employee.
