Common use of Specimen Collection Procedures Clause in Contracts

Specimen Collection Procedures. Controlled Substances testing will be conducted using a urine specimen collected by qualified collection personnel at a collection site located on-site at the Village or at an off- site laboratory service center or medical clinic. For all FMCSA required testing, a Federal custody and control form (CCF) will be used to document the collection process. The driver will be required to present photo identification to the collector at the start of the collection process. The collector will instruct the employee to empty the contents of his/her pockets, remove all outer clothing (jackets, hats, etc.) and leave all hand carried items outside the toilet enclosure. After washing his/her hands, the driver will be provided a wrapped collection container which is unwrapped in his/her presence. The wrapped/sealed specimen bottles will remain with the collector while the driver provides his/her specimen in the privacy of a toilet enclosure with a closed door. In circumstances where only a multi- stall restroom is available, the collector will accompany the driver into the restroom. The collector will remain outside the toilet stall/enclosure; the driver will provide the specimen while in the toilet stall with the stall door closed. In certain circumstances the driver will be required to provide his/her urine specimen while being directly observed. Observation of urination will only be done by an individual who is the same sex as the driver. The following circumstances will require a direct observation collection: 1. The driver presents a specimen which is outside the expected temperature range (90-100 °F) 2. The driver presents a specimen which the collector believes is adulterated or substituted, or has specimen adulterant or substitution materials in his/her pockets. 3. A previous specimen provided by the driver was invalid for testing and there was no medical explanation for the specimen’s invalidity 4. A previous specimen provided by the driver was verified as positive, adulterated, or substituted and the split specimen was unavailable for reconfirmation. 5. The collection is for a return to duty or follow-up test. Upon completion of urination, the driver will present the specimen to the collector. The collector will check the temperature and physical appearance of the specimen. In the driver’s presence the collector will unwrap/remove the seal from the two specimen bottles, and divide the urine specimen into the two bottles, ensuring that there is at least 30 mL in the A Bottle, and at least 15 mL in the B Bottle. The collector will apply the seal/label to each bottle, date the label and ask the driver to initial each bottle label. The driver will be permitted to wash his/her hands. The specimen shall remain in the sight of both the collector and the driver from time of presentation of the specimen to the sealing/labeling of the bottles. If the employee is unable to urinate, or provides an insufficient quantity of urine (<45mL), the employee will be provided fluids to drink (up to 40 oz.) and up to three hours to provide an adequate specimen. If the employee is unable to provide an adequate specimen after three hours, the collection process will cease. The collector will inform the Village, and the Village will direct the employee to be evaluated by a Village- designated physician as soon as practical. If the MRO determines, after review of the physician’s findings of the examination of the employee, that there is no medical explanation for the employee’s failure to provide an adequate specimen, the employee will be considered to have refused to test. The collector and driver will complete the CCF. The specimen bottles and a copy of the CCF will be placed in a plastic bag and sealed. The driver will be provided a copy of the CCF. Collection site personnel shall arrange shipment of the specimens to the drug testing laboratory. Prior to shipment, the specimens shall be maintained in a secure receptacle or area of the collection facility. If the driver refuses to cooperate during the collection process the collection site person will inform the Village Designated Employer Representative (DER) and document the employee’s conduct on the Drug Testing Custody and Control Form. Employees are expected to exercise good faith and cooperate during the collection process and failure to do so will subject the employee to discipline, up to and including discharge, independent and regardless of the results of any subsequent drug test.
