Common use of ACCIDENT TESTING Clause in Contracts

ACCIDENT TESTING. Safety-sensitive employees will be required to undergo controlled substance and/or breath alcohol testing if they are involved in an accident with a District vehicle that results in a fatality. This includes all safety-sensitive employees who are on duty in the vehicles and any other whose performance could have contributed to the accident. In addition, a post-accident test will be conducted if an accident results in injuries requiring transportation to a medical treatment facility; or where one or more vehicles incurs disabling damage that requires towing from the site; and the safety-sensitive employee receives a citation under State of local law for a moving traffic violation arising from the accident. Following an accident, the safety-sensitive employee will be tested as soon as possible, but not to exceed eight hours for alcohol and 32 hours for controlled substances. Any employee who leaves the scene of the accident without appropriate authorization prior to submission to controlled substance and alcohol testing will be considered to have refused the test and subject to termination. Post-accident testing of safety-sensitive employees will include not only the operation personnel, but any other covered employees whose performance could have contributed to the accident.
