specimen. The MRO will report back to the DER and the employee whether the split reconfirms the <br />primary.

DOT -Required Alcohol Tests <br />Compliance. The Company will ensure that each employee who performs a DOT -covered function <br />will be alcohol tested for the following reasons when called for by Part 199. All alcohol tests will be <br />conducted following the procedures of Part 40. <br />Pre -Employment 60 PHMSA does not mandate a pre -employment alcohol test for covered <br />employees in the pipeline industry. PHMSA does give operators and contractors who wish to conduct <br />a pre -employment alcohol test the authority to do so. If the Company decides to conduct pre- <br />employment alcohol testing, all applicants will be advised of the test prior to the test occurring, and all <br />tests will be conducted before the first performance of covered functions by every covered employee <br />(whether a new employee or someone who has transferred to a position involving the performance of <br />covered functions). The Company will treat all covered employees the same for the purpose of pre- <br />employment alcohol testing; the Company will not test some covered employees and not others. The <br />Company will conduct the pre -employment tests after making a contingent offer of employment or <br />transfer, subject to the employee passing the pre -employment alcohol test. A result of less than 0.02 <br />alcohol concentration is required prior to performing covered functions. <br />Post -Accident Testing 81 The Company will conduct both a drug test and an alcohol test, after an <br />accident, or incident, on each employee whose performance either contributed to the accident or <br />cannot be completely discounted as a contributing factor to the accident. The decision whether to test <br />or not to test any employee shall be based on the Company's determination, using the best available <br />information immediately following the accident, that the covered employee's performance could or <br />could not have contributed to the accident. The Company will explain to each employee to be tested <br />there is reason to believe their performance contributed to the accident or cannot be completely <br />discounted as a contributing factor to the accident. The Company will document the decisions that <br />support the determination to conduct a post -accident test. Refer to the Post Accident or Reasonable <br />CauseJSuspi i n Supervisor Written Record. <br />A post -accident alcohol test shall be conducted on each employee as soon as possible but no later <br />than 8 hours after the accident. If the test is not completed within 2 hours the Company will prepare <br />and maintain a written statement documenting the reason the test was not conducted. If the testis <br />not completed within 8 hours the Company shall cease attempts to do so. The Company will take all <br />reasonable steps to obtain a breath test from an employee after an accident, but any injury should be <br />treated first. Nothing in this section shall be construed to require the delay of necessary medical <br />attention for injured people following an accident, to prohibit a covered employee from leaving the <br />scene of an accident for the period necessary to obtain assistance in responding to the accident, or <br />to obtain necessary emergency medical care. <br />The affected employee will not be allowed to proceed alone to the testing site. A covered employee <br />who is subject to post -accident testing who fails to remain readily available for such testing, including <br />notifying the Company or Company's representative of their location if they leave the scene of the <br />accident prior to submission to such test, may be deemed by the Company to have refused to submit <br />to testing. <br />Random Testing. PHMSA does not authorize random alcohol testing of covered employees within <br />the natural gas and hazardous liquids pipeline industry. The Company will not conduct DOT random <br />alcohol testing of their PHMSA-regulated employees. <br />J.
