subsidiaries requiring pre-employment health and substance screening will be required to complete a consent

furnished results upon request with approval of the Human Resources Manager. Under no circumstances will date
obtained from results of a pre-employment health/substance screening be released to any employee, family member,
relative or friend or notarized consent of applicant. Written results of the pre-employment drug screen, if
