Drug and Alcohol Programs (U.S.)

CP is committed to protecting the safety, health and well-being of all employees, other individuals in our workplace, and the general public. We recognize that alcohol and drug use pose a significant threat to these goals. We have established programs that balance our respect for individuals with the need to maintain an alcohol and drug-free work environment.

Our goal to draw employee awareness to this substantial increase, as well as, to remind employees that CP provides Drug and Alcohol Assistance for any employee that is experiencing alcohol or drug problems through the Company's Drug and Alcohol – Employee Assistance Provider (EAP)
