What happens during the first alcohol incident?

• A. Member processed for separation
• B. Within 7 days
• C. Referral procedures initiated
• D. Member screened and discharge procedures commenced

Answer: (D)

The main idea is that the first alcohol incident triggers immediate safety and administrative steps: you first screen the member to assess fitness for duty and any medical or psychological issues, and you begin discharge procedures if warranted by the incident. Screening quickly determines whether the member poses a risk to themselves or others and what kind of follow-up is needed. At the same time, starting discharge procedures sets in motion the formal process to determine whether continued service is appropriate, ensuring due process and alignment with policy. Referrals or other actions may come later, but the essential early actions are the screening and the initiation of discharge procedures.
