CVTC Alcohol and Drug Policy for Employees and Students which prohibits the serving of alcohol at student events.
The federal Drug-Free Schools and Campuses Act requires institutions of higher education to have a drug and alcohol abuse prevention program (DAAPP). Written policy which describes: 1) legal sanctions under federal, state, and local law for the unlawful use, possession, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol; 2) a description of the health risks associated with the use of illicit drugs and the abuse of alcohol; 3) a description of any drug and alcohol programs that are available to employees or students; and 4) a clear statement that the school will impose disciplinary sanctions on students and employees for violations of the standards of conduct. Access to the DAAPP is available in MyCVTC. https://mycvtc.cvtc.edu/site/Employee/safety-security/Pages/Crime-and-Prevention.aspx
Effect on Financial Aid
As a condition of receiving financial aid funds, the federal government requires that colleges must disclose information to students and have an adopted alcohol and drug program in place. Students who receive Pell and certain other federal grants also
should be aware that they must report any conviction of a drug-related offense to the U.S. Department of Education within ten days of the conviction if the offense occurred
during the period covered by the grant.
Vehicle Operation
Both students and staff involved in commercial vehicle operation must comply with the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991 and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations Part 382 which includes mandatory alcohol and controlled substance testing. CVTC students enrolled in programs in which a CDL is obtained (i.e. Diesel, Electrical Power Distribution, Truck Driving, and Agriscience) are subject. CVTC employees providing instruction in programs requiring a CDL (i.e. Diesel, Electrical Power Distribution, Truck Driving, and Agriscience) are also subject. Other employees who hold a CDL as a requirement of their job are also subject. For testing details refer to the CVTC CDL/DOT Alcohol & Controlled Substance Testing guide available through MyCVTC/Human Resources.
Personal Protective Equipment
In compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Standard 1910.132 and Wisconsin Public Employee Safety and Health SPS332, personal protective equipment shall be used when there are hazards in the environment such as chemical hazards, radiological hazards, or mechanical irritants encountered in a manner capable of causing injury or impairment in the function of any part of the body through absorption, inhalation, or physical contact. This includes all areas at CVTC that fit this description.
Personal protective equipment may include: safety glasses, goggles, face shields, hard hats, steel-toed shoes/boots, gloves, hearing protection, protective clothing, respirators, etc. All affected employees must have knowledge of when and where personal protective equipment is required. This information must be shared with students and visitors via signs and verbal instruction.
Note: Anyone entering a designated hazardous area when in operation must wear the required personal protective equipment. Offices and storerooms in these areas are classified as non-hazardous and personal protective equipment is not required in these areas. However, if it is necessary to pass through a hazardous area while in operation to get to an office or storeroom, personal protective equipment must be worn at that time.
Students working in these hazardous areas may be required to purchase appropriate personal protective equipment. Some personal protective equipment may be provided by CVTC. If you have personal protective equipment that is defective, you are required to repair or replace the equipment. If the defective equipment was provided to you by CVTC,
