Testing Mechanisms. The following testing mechanisms shall be used for any test for alcohol or drugs performed on employees: 1) Any urine screening will be performed by the use of the enzyme immunoassay (EMIT) method and confirmed by the use of Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). If at any time tests exist with higher rates of reliability than either of these methods, such tests will be used in place of them, if agreed to by the City and the Union. 2) Alcohol tests shall be performed by standard laboratory breath or blood alcohol analysis. A breath alcohol test will be performed first. If the result is four hundredths of a percent (.04%) or higher, the employee may request either a breath or a blood alcohol analysis for their second test.
