Submission to Drug and/or Alcohol Testing. At the time an Employee is subject to testing, pursuant to section E.4, subsection C, of this Agreement, the Department shall inform the designated Union Representative on duty. If there is not a representative on duty, the Department shall make a reasonable effort to contact an off duty designated representative. The Employee to be tested shall be allowed to consult with the Union representative. No questioning of the Employee shall be conducted unless such questioning is consistent with the “Firemen’s Disciplinary Act.” The Employee shall have one hour to submit to the test. A refusal to submit to a test or refusal to cooperate in the testing process (including attempting to substitute or adulterate a specimen) shall be considered a refusal to obey a direct order and may result in discipline, up to and including discharge. An Employee subject to testing shall be removed from duty and placed on leave with pay pending the receipt of the test results.
