Sec. 1309.73  Employee responsibility to report diversion.

    Reports of listed chemical diversion by fellow employees is not only 
a necessary part of an overall employee security program but also serves 
the public interest at large. It is, therefore, the position of DEA that 
an employee who has knowledge of diversion from his employer by a fellow 
employee has an obligation to report such information to a responsible 
security official of the employer. The employer shall treat such 
information as confidential and shall take all reasonable steps to 
protect the confidentiality of the information and the identity of the 
employee furnishing information. A failure to report information of 
chemical diversion will be considered in determining the feasibility of 
continuing to allow an employee to work in an area with access to 
chemicals. The employer shall inform all employees concerning this 
policy.
