Inspections
Inspections of Hospital Property
To control shortages, theft and to locate missing items, inspections of work and personal areas may be conducted at any time. Similarly, the hospital may conduct unannounced random inspections for drugs and alcohol on hospital facilities and property such as, but not limited to, hospital vehicles, equipment, desks, file cabinets, or hospital-issued lockers. Individuals who work at the hospital are expected to cooperate in the conduct of such inspections. Inspections of hospital facilities and property may be conducted at any time and do not have to be based on reasonable suspicion.
Inspections of House Staff Property
In addition to routine inspections conducted in accordance with loss prevention policies and practices, inspections of house staff and their personal property such as, but not limited to, vehicles, clothing, packages, purses, brief cases, lunch boxes, or other containers brought into the hospital premises may be conducted when there is reasonable suspicion to believe that the individual may have or has violated the drug or alcohol prohibitions contained in this policy manual.
