Drug-Free Workplace & Federal Compliance Notice

As a federal government contractor operating in safety-sensitive construction environments, Fire Safety and Protection is legally mandated to maintain a drug-free workplace in strict accordance with federal law. Under the Drug-Free Workplace Act and FAR 52.226-7, all controlled substances prohibited by federal statute—including marijuana/THC—are strictly forbidden within our operations.

Applicants who receive a conditional offer of employment must successfully pass a pre-employment drug screen. Because federal regulations override state-level recreational marijuana laws, testing positive for marijuana/THC will result in the immediate revocation of a conditional job offer, regardless of local legalization or off-duty state protections.
