The employee will be shown the displayed test result. The device will print a label with, or the technician will write, the result and pertinent information on the ATF.79 Alcohol Screening with an ASD Be It is not the intent of the Company to use an ASD for an alcohol test. However, it Is possible that, when necessary, one may have to be used to conduct the test. In those cases the STT or BAT will follow the manufacturer's instructions, and only use a device that has been under their control. The ASD may be either a saliva device or a breath tube. The expiration date will be shown to the employee. A device will not be used after its expiration date. The device will be opened in the presence of the employee, and the employee will be offered the opportunity to use the device, according to instructions. In any case where the technician uses the device, the device will be inserted into the employee's mouth and gather saliva, with the technician wearing single -use examination gloves while doing so and change them following each test. Assurance will be made that the device has properly activated and that the correct amount of time will be allowed to elapse before reading the result. If problems occur (e.g., the device does not activate, it is dropped on the floor), it will be discarded and a new test will be conducted using a new device. The STT or BAT will note on the ATF the reason for the new test. If efforts to ,get the ASD to work properly fail, the technician will direct the employee to take a new test immediately, using an EBT for the screening test. Devices, swabs, gloves or other materials used in the prior saliva or breath tube testing will not be used in subsequent tests. Alcohol Screening Results .B1 A result with an alcohol concentration of less than 0.02 will be recorded on the ATF; the result will be transmitted to the DER, with the test concluded without consequence. A result with an alcohol concentration of 0.02 or higher requires the employee to take a confirmation test. If the same BAT who conducted the alcohol screening test will also conduct the confirmation test, the test will begin immediately. If a different BAT will conduct the confirmation test, the technician conducting the screening test will direct the employee to the site where the test will take place. The technician will also advise the employee not to eat, drink, put anything (e.g., cigarette, chewing gum) into the employee's mouth, or belch, during the 15-minute waiting period until the test occurs. The employee will be observed by the technician or an employer representative on the way to the confirmation testing site. The employee will be directed not to attempt to drive a motor vehicle to the confirmation testing site. J. RANCK ELECTRIC, INC. PHMSA DRUG/ALCOHOL PLAN NATIONAL COMPLIANCE NANAGEWNT SERVICE, INC.
