Controlled Substances Testing Sample Clauses

The Controlled Substances Testing clause establishes the right of an employer or organization to require individuals, such as employees or contractors, to undergo testing for illegal drugs or other controlled substances. Typically, this clause outlines when and how testing may occur, such as during pre-employment screening, after workplace accidents, or on a random basis, and may specify the procedures for handling positive test results. Its core practical function is to promote a safe and compliant work environment by deterring substance abuse and ensuring that individuals performing work are not under the influence of prohibited substances.
Controlled Substances Testing. The parties have agreed that the procedures as set forth in this Article shall be the methodology for all testing and will be modified only in the event that further federal legislation or Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations (as set forth in 49 CFR Parts 40 and 382) require revised testing methodologies or requirements during the term of this Agreement. To the extent that a subject is not covered by this Article the appropriate regulation shall control. Should other categories, modifications or types of testing be required by the government, the parties will meet as expeditiously as possible to develop a mutually agreeable procedure.
