Alcohol

Overview

The three-martini lunch has had its ups and downs over the years. However Oregon OSHA’s rule covering intoxicating liquor and drugs (437-001-0760, Rules for all Workplaces) is quite clear: “The use of intoxicating liquor on the job is strictly prohibited. Anyone whose ability to work safely is impaired by alcohol, drugs, or medication must not be allowed on the job while in that condition.”
