DISCLOSURE TO APPLICANT OF MEDICAL EXAMINATION REQUIREMENT INCLUDING TEST FOR CURRENT USAGE OF DRUGS
Prior to employment with the Crete Township Fire Protection District, candidates are required to submit to a medical examination to determine whether they are able to perform all essential job duties and to assure the safety, health, and welfare of employees and the general public. The determination as to whether a medical examination is necessary is dependent on the classification of the job the applicant seeks. Additionally, Crete Township FPD is a Drug-Free Workplace and, therefore, offers of employment are conditioned upon satisfactory results of drug testing. Conditional job offers will be revoked if the applicant refuses to submit to a drug testing or if the results of the drug testing are unsatisfactory.

CONSENT TO MEDICAL EXAMINATION AND DRUG TESTING

In the event that I am conditionally offered employment by Crete Township FPD, I voluntarily consent to a medical examination prior to my beginning employment, should the classification of the job for which I am being considered require such an examination. In the event that I am conditionally offered employment by Crete Township FPD, I also consent to a drug test of my urine and/or blood and/or hair prior to my beginning employment. I hereby authorize and give full permission to have the medical provider, its staff, and/or associates send a specimen of my urine and/or blood and/or hair to a laboratory for screening tests for the presence of drugs. I authorize these results, whether positive or negative, to be given to a Medical Review Officer selected by Crete Township FPD. I release Crete Township FPD, its officers, agents, and employees from any liability whatsoever in connection with such a medical examination and/or drug test or the use of the results therefrom. I have read in full and understand the above Disclosure and Consent and conditions of employment contained therein.
