The results of a return -to - duty drug test must be negative in order "to count" and allow the employee to return to work. A cancelled test must be recollected; a positive test or refusal -to -test will be considered as a new, separate violation.

The SAP may terminate the requirement for follow-up testing at any time after the first six tests have been administered, if the SAP determines that such testing is no longer necessary. 2. Drug Tests That Require Direct Observation Procedures Compliance.

However, should it become required that these collections be conducted under direct observation procedures, the Company will convey instructions to the collector to ensure that this is done. Direct observation procedures will also be used for collections when a specimen is provided and the temperature is out of range, when the specimen appears to have been tampered with or when a previous specimen has been reported as invalid, adulterated, substituted or negative -dilute with a creatinine concentration greater than or equal to 2 mg/dL but less than or equal to 5 mg/dL, as defined in Part 40.
