Collection and Testing Procedures. THE City will follow drug and alcohol procedures contained in 49 CFR 40, entitled "Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug Testing Programs" and 49 CFR 382 which includes preparation for testing specimen collection procedures, laboratory requirements, retention of samples and Medical Review Officer (MRO) qualifications and functions. Selection of a laboratory to implement the drug testing procedures described in this Policy shall be by mutual agreement of the parties, neither of whom shall unreasonably withhold their consent. The collection site procedures shall provide for the collection of split sample urine specimens. Chain of custody and quality control of samples shall follow at a minimum U.S. DOT Guidelines to assure the accuracy of collection and testing procedures. A quality control program for drug testing will be maintained including the submission of blind samples in accordance with U.S. DOT regulations to assure the accuracy of collection and testing procedures. An employee shall, upon request, be provided a split sample at the time of testing. If the initial test proves positive, the MRO will require a second confirmatory test. If the confirmatory test proves negative, a negative result will be reported to the employee first and then to the Fire Chief. If the confirmatory test is positive, the MRO shall consider the test results and review the individual's medical history and/or any other relevant biomedical factors. The MRO shall interview the employee and discuss the test result at which time the employee will have the opportunity to present any relevant medical information that would provide legitimate medical explanation for a positive test result. If the MRO verifies a positive result, the MRO shall refer the employee's case to the Fire Chief, after notifying the employee of the result, for further action as provided under this policy. If the MRO determines after the appropriate review that there is a legitimate medical explanation for the confirmed positive test result other than the authorized use of all unauthorized controlled substances, the MRO shall report this as a negative test result and so inform the employee regarding his finding which shall remain confidential. The MRO may conclude that a particular drug test result is scientifically insufficient for further action. Under these circumstances, the MRO shall cancel the test result and record it as a negative result. Should any questions arise as to the accuracy or validity ...

Collection and Testing Procedures. The Company wants to ensure that the collection and testing procedures are conducted through a scientifically valid program to insure fairness, scientific accuracy and the highest integrity in the process. As such, the Company and Union adopt the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) anti-drug and alcohol processes as contained in 49 C.F.R. section 40. Under this program an independent DOT-approved laboratory will test by way of urine collection for the presence of five illegal drugs, namely, amphetamines, marijuana, cocaine, opiates (heroin) and phencyclidine (PCP). The laboratory will further test for the presence of alcohol by taking breath samples through the use of a DOT- approved Breathalyzer. Section 4, below, shall govern drug and alcohol violation rates. In addition, to insure fairness and integrity in the process, the DOT- approved collection and chain of custody procedures, Medical Review Officer review, Substance Abuse Professional review and split sample testing will also be adopted by Company as part of this program. A full description of these procedures is available from either the Company or the Union, at the employee’s request. • Chain of Custody When a specimen is obtained, the container or test tube(s) will remain in full view of the Employee and must be sealed, labeled, and initialed by the Employee. From that time on the specimen container shall never be handled by any employee of the Company or Union Member. • Confidentiality Company managers and supervisors are to restrict communications concerning test results of this procedure to persons who have an absolute need to know. The test results are to be reported to an appointed manager or supervisor, and all files are to be kept confidential and locked in accordance with established procedures.

Related to Collection and Testing Procedures

  • Testing Procedures 1. Drug and alcohol testing shall be conducted in a manner designed to protect employees, protect the integrity of the testing process, safeguard the validity of test results, and ensure that those results are attributed to the correct employee. 2. Employees who are required to undergo a drug and/or alcohol test will be provided transportation to the collection facility and shall also be offered transportation home by a Department representative. 3. Employees may have a Guild representative present at the collection facility. However, the lack of Guild representation shall not unreasonably delay the collection process. 4. Employees required to undergo a drug and/or alcohol test shall cooperate fully in the collection process and complete all required forms and documents. These forms include, but are not limited to, a Consent/Release form and an Interview form. 5. Urine samples for drug testing shall be collected at a collection site designated by the Employer using the split sample collection method. The split sample is made available if retesting becomes necessary. Any specimen that tests positive for drugs shall be retained in long-term frozen storage by the laboratory conducting the analysis for a minimum of one year. 6. If medical personnel at the collection site have reason to believe that an adulterated or substituted sample has been provided (or that the employee- altered or substituted the sample), the employee will be required to immediately submit a second sample (or the original sample). This collection shall be under the direct observation of a same gender collection site staff person. The employee will be required to provide the additional or original sample during an observed collection prior to leaving the collection site. 7. An appropriate chain of custody procedure shall be followed in the administration of all drug tests. Urine samples shall be sealed and initialed by the employee and a witness. 8. Urine samples shall be promptly sent to and tested by a laboratory that is certified to perform drug tests by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Initial drug screening shall be conducted using an accepted immunoassay method. All positive tests shall be confirmed using the gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) drug testing method. The laboratory shall test for only the substances and within the limits as follows for the initial and confirmation tests, as provided within NIDA standards, unless this section is modified by amended agreements provided for in Section L.3.: Alcohol * Marijuana metabolites 50 ng/ml Cocaine metabolites 300 ng/ml Opiate metabolites (morphine and codeine) 300 ng/ml Phencyclidine 25 ng/ml Amphetamines (Amphetamine and Methamphetamine) 1000 ng/ml Barbituates 300 ng/ml Benzodiazepines 300 ng/ml Methadone 300 ng/ml Methaqualone 300 ng/ml Propoxyphene 300 ng/▇▇ ▇. If immunoassay is specific for free morphine the initial test level is 25 ng/ml. Alcohol * Marijuana metabolites 15 ng/ml Cocaine metabolites 150 ng/ml Opiate metabolites (morphine and codeine) 300 ng/ml Phencyclidine 25 ng/ml Amphetamines (Amphetamine and 9. Alcohol shall be tested by means of a Breathalyzer machine currently in use (B.A.C.) or future equipment which may supercede the B.A.C. machine (but excludes the P.B.T. device.) Breathalyzer alcohol tests shall be conducted at a site designated by the Employer. The testing shall follow the protocols established for criminal investigations, including the requirement of two breath samples within the proper variance. If the initial test indicates an alcohol concentration of .02 or greater, a second test shall be performed to confirm the results of the initial test at the election of the employee. The confirmatory test shall be by means of a blood draw. The confirmatory test shall also use a .02 blood alcohol concentration level to measure a positive test. If the Employee refuses to take the second confirmatory test, the first test will be used to determine alcohol concentration. The use of a BAC does not preclude the use of a blood draw for the initial testing. Whether a BAC and/or a blood draw is used depends on the circumstances leading the Employer to the conclusion that there needs to be a test. *The Sheriff’s position is that with regard to the cut off level for a positive alcohol test result it is .02 or greater based on his belief that law enforcement should be a no tolerance environment and the presence of any alcohol should be prohibited for safety reasons and to set an example within the jurisdiction of this Sheriff.
