Workplace Search Policy

Overview

Safety and Customer Satisfaction are core values at ABX Air, Inc. ABX is committed to safeguarding your security, the security of our properties and facilities, and the property of our customers. ABX reserves the right to conduct workplace searches.

Core Requirements

	ABX reserves the right to question and conduct personal searches of employees and all other persons on any of its owned or operated properties or facilities.
	All searches will be conducted in a respectful and professional manner.
	You will be required, upon the company’s request, to submit to a search of any package, bag, purse, pocket, briefcase, parcel, toolbox, lunchbox, or other container.
	The company retains the right to search any desk, file, computer file, e-mail, telephone voice mail, locker, cabinet, or other container provided to employees by the company regardless of whether secured with a personal or a company-issued lock or password.
	Management also maintains the right to search any vehicle brought onto company premises.
	To avoid inconvenience, you are encouraged to bring only necessary items to work. When removing items from the property, you must obtain a permission-to- remove form from your management.
	To assist with the search process, since Security has no way of knowing what is your personal property, a permission-to-remove form also is required for the removal of personal property (like CDs, books, etc).
	You should avoid bringing any items to work you would be unwilling to have searched upon request.
	Refusal to submit to a search when requested to do so will result in discipline, up to and including discharge.

Employee Responsibility

Cooperate and remain respectful with security or management while searches are being conducted.

	Obtain appropriate approvals and paperwork to remove property.
	Report any theft or suspicious behavior immediately to your supervisor, security, loss prevention, or We-Tip hotline.

Leadership Responsibility

	Immediately involve security and/or loss prevention when there is a reasonable suspicion of theft or possession of a weapon for a search to be conducted.
	Support the company’s position by explaining to employees the reasoning and necessity for conducting searches.
	Address any concerns about the search process.
