2. Testing will be conducted only by accredited labs that have obtained and <br />retained DHHS certification. <br />3. All specimens that are positive in an initial screen must then be confirmed by <br />gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). GUAS confirmation is <br />the state-of-the-art drug testing technology, providing a fingerprint of the <br />detected drug. <br />4. A Medical Review Officer (MRO) will review all drug test positives prior to <br />verification of positive test results. The MRO is a physician with specialty <br />training and expertise in substance abuse and drug testing. The MRO will <br />review confirmed positive test results to ensure proper procedure, protocol, <br />and reporting. The MRO will interview the individual who has a confirmed <br />positive test result by telephone to investigate whether a legal prescription has <br />caused the specimen to test positive. If the individual has no legal <br />prescription, the MRO will take appropriate steps to report a verified positive <br />to the BCRC Program Administrator, who will then invalidate the employee's <br />certification card. All persons who have tested positive must have their return <br />to work cleared by the EAP. <br />5. All positive specimens will be retained frozen in a locked facility at the testing <br />laboratory for one (1) year. The retained specimens will be available should <br />the results of that test be disputed or should arbitration or litigation arise out of <br />the actions taken because of the test results. <br />6. On a periodic basis, BCRC will submit blind pre -tested urine samples with <br />appropriate documentation to the drug -testing laboratory as a means of <br />assuring itself of laboratory proficiency. <br />Drug Group <br />The drug -testing program will test for the following drugs at these levels: <br />Initial <br />Confirmatory <br />An l e <br />Screenin <br />Test <br />Amphetamines <br />1000 ng/Ml <br />500 ng/Ml <br />Cocaine <br />300 ng/Ml <br />150 ng/Ml <br />Marijuana <br />50 ng/Ml <br />15 ng/Ml <br />Opiates <br />2000 ng.Ml <br />2000 ng/Ml <br />Phencyclidine <br />25 ng/Ml <br />25 ng/Ml <br />Barbiturates <br />300 ng/Ml <br />200 ng/Ml <br />Benzodiazepines <br />300 ng/Ml <br />Methadone <br />300 ng/Ml <br />Propoxyphene <br />300 ng/Ml <br />MDA-Analogues (Ecstasy) <br />250 na/Ml <br />200 ng/Ml <br />200 ng/Ml <br />200 ng/Ml <br />200 ng/Ml <br />
