All safety- sensitive employees shall be subject to testing prior to employment, randomly, for reasonable suspicion, and following an accident, as defined in the Department of Transportation guidelines. In addition, all safety- sensitive employees will be tested prior to returning to duty after failing a controlled substance and/or alcohol test. Employees who have returned to duty will be subject to unannounced follow- up tests for up to five years, as determined by a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP). Safety- sensitive employees who perform safety-sensitive functions as defined in the Department of Transportation guidelines shall also be subject to testing on randomly selected, unannounced basis. Testing shall be conducted in a manner to assure a high degree of accuracy and reliability and using techniques, equipment, and laboratory facilities which have been approved by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHJ-IS). All testing will be conducted consistent with the procedures put forth in the Department of Transportation guidelines. The controlled substances that will be tested for include marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, and phencyclidine (PCP). An initial controlled substance screen will be conducted on each specimen. For those specimens that are positive, a confirmatory Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) test will be performed. The test will be considered positive if the controlled substance levels present are above the minimum thresholds established in the Department of Transportation guidelines. Tests for alcohol concentration will be conducted utilizing an approved Evidential Breath Testing device (EBT) operated by a trained Breath Alcohol Technician (BAT). If the initial test indicated an alcohol concentration of 0.02 or greater, a confirmation test will be performed to confirm the result of the initial test. An employee who has a confirmed alcohol concentration of 0.02 but less than 0.04 will be removed from his/her position for at least twenty-four hours unless a retest results in an alcohol concentration less than
