Workplace Search Policy
Revised Oct. 4, 2010 - Printable version

 
Overview

Safety and Customer Satisfaction are core values at ABX Air, Inc. We are committed to safeguarding the security of our people, the security of our properties and facilities, and the property of our customers. From time to time we may conduct workplace searches to preserve the security of our people and our business.

Core Requirements

  • ABX Air reserves the right to ask you questions and conduct personal searches of employees and all other persons in any of our properties or facilities.
  • We will always treat everyone in a respectful and professional manner.
  • You may 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.
  • We have 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.
  • We have the right to search any vehicle brought onto company premises.
  • To avoid inconvenience, employees are encouraged to bring only necessary items to work. When removing items from our property, you must obtain a Permission-to-Remove Form from your leadership. 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 not bring anything to work that you would be unwilling to have searched upon request.
  • Refusal to submit to a search when requested to do so may subject you to discipline, up to and including discharge.
