The employer knew a railway worker was struggling with personal issues and undergoing counseling via the company’s employee assistance program. But it didn’t know about his substance addiction until he actually tested positive for cocaine after his admitted impaired driving caused him to run his on-track hi-rail pickup truck into an excavator.
