UNITED STATES DRUG POLICY

Hewlett-Packard is committed to providing a safe and productive working environment for

its employees. The United States Drug Policy is designed to assist HP in maintaining such a
working environment.

Prohibited Activities
The unlawful use, possession, manufacture, sale (including solicitation of sale or purchase),
distribution, dispensation, or other involvement with illegal drugs or controlled substances that
occurs on the premises of HP, its customers, or its vendors, or at HP-sponsored events, or that
otherwise has an effect upon the workplace is strictly prohibited. Thus, for example, an
employee who arranges to buy or sell drugs at work where payment or delivery is to be made
off-site is engaged in misconduct. Similarly, a manager who uses drugs in the presence of
fellow employees or who provides drugs to fellow employees, even if it is off-site, is engaged in
misconduct as well. Conduct in violation of this policy will ordinarily result in termination of
employment.
When deemed appropriate, the company may inspect persons and property (including but not
limited to vehicles, desks, lockers, briefcases, tool boxes, personal effects, and similar items)
on HP premises at any time and without notice.
Employees who encounter drug-related activities at work are expected to report such incidents
to an HP manager or their Human Resources department. The confidentiality of this
communication will be respected to the maximum extent possible. During investigation of
these matters, employees are expected to respond honestly and cooperatively. Employees
who do not cooperate as indicated in this paragraph are subject to disciplinary action up to,
and including, termination of employment.

Employee Assistance
Employees experiencing problems with drugs are encouraged to seek help voluntarily by
contacting their manager, Human Resources department or company nurse. Employees and
their dependents are also encouraged to make use of the Employee Assistance Program which
can provide confdential counseling or referral for drug-related problems. However,
participation in a rehabilitation program will not prevent the company from taking action with
respect to drug-related activities that affect the workplace, nor will it relieve an employee of
the responsibility to perform job duties in a manner consistent with HP's expectations.

Drug Screening
Drug screening may be required where deemed necessary or appropriate, such as
screening required by law, regulation, contract, or customer requirement. Employees
subject to this requirement whose specimen screen positive are subject to disciplinary
action up to, and including, termination of employment.

Drug-Free Workplace Act

In accordance with the provisions of the Drug-Free Workplace Act and similar state statutes or
ordinances, employees whose work involves supplies or services for the United States or other
government entities are expressly advised that continued employment is conditioned upon
adherence to this policy. In addition, employees working on government contracts are also
required to notify the Human Resources manager of any criminal drug statute conviction for a
violation occurring in the workplace no later than five days after the conviction.
