The Company 'L-Stream Ltd' has implemented a ‘zero tolerance policy’ in the use and/or trafficking of internationally controlled substances and alcohol abuse, for both shore-based and shipboard personnel.
All shipboard and shore-based personnel are required to be in a condition to respond, at any time, to an emergency situation, while on duty. The misuse of legitimate drugs or the use, possession, distribution and/or sale of illicit or non-prescribed drugs onboard or ashore, is strictly prohibited. Any use of a controlled substance which causes or contributes to unacceptable job performance or unusual job behaviour, is also prohibited.

A person is considered under the influence of alcohol and his/her performance impaired, when he/she has a blood alcohol content of 40mg/100ml, or greater. The Company requires a period of abstinence from alcohol to be exercised prior to any scheduled watchkeeping duties or work periods, as per Company Drugs and Alcohol procedures.

All sea-going personnel, and shore-based personnel shall sign a declaration of acceptance of the Company's drug and alcohol policy. All sea-going personnel employed by the Company must undergo a drugs and alcohol screening test and pass it, before signing on.
If it is determined that a Company employee has or is abusing controlled substances or alcohol, his/her employment will be terminated.
