Oilsands giant Suncor said it has ongoing issues with alcohol and drug abuse among its employees, citing 73 incidents of employees testing positive for controlled substances since 2013.
During a March 2014 work shift, security received a call for an employee who was intoxicated in a hauling truck at Suncor’s Millennium Mine, north of Fort McMurray.
When officers searched the truck they found three beer cans, a marijuana pipe in the door and a partial joint under the seat. RCMP removed and arrested the contract truck operator.
Suncor has a drug and alcohol problem at its oilsands sites, the company said
