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.
