BCRC card will be instructed to report to an approved BCRC collection site and to <br />provide a urine specimen for initial (pre -employment) testing and a clear status before <br />starting work for any participating employer. The individual will be directed by BCRC <br />or by their employer, to report to a BCRC approved collection site location. These <br />selected collection sites will have collection kits, chain -of -custody forms, and all other <br />necessary supplies. <br />RANDOM TESTING <br />After the individual's completion of the initial drug test (with a negative result), he/she <br />will be placed in the Random Pool after which he/she will be notified via U.S. mail to <br />report to an approved collection site for a random drug test. The individuals chosen for a <br />random drug test will be selected anonymously, from a computerized selection program. <br />Fifty percent (50%) of the currently active BCRC individual cardholders will be selected <br />annually for random testing. Then, on a monthly basis, one -twelfth (1/12) of the selected <br />employees will be notified to submit to a random test in order to update their BCRC <br />identification cards and status. A copy of the form letters notifying individuals of their <br />selection for this random test appears as an attachment A, B & C at the back of this <br />booklet. <br />Employees will be required to report to an approved collection site within seven (7) days <br />from the date of the Notice for Random Testing letter in order to maintain their BCRC <br />identification card and status. No employee will be required to submit to a random test <br />more than twice (2) in a twelve- (12) month period. All employees will be selected for a <br />random at least one (1) every two (2) years. <br />If an employee does not provide a sample at an approved collection site within seven (7) <br />days of having been notified of a random selection, his/her status in the BCRC Substance <br />Abuse Program will be deemed "Not Available." Employees who fail to report for a <br />random test in the required time should contact the Third Party Administrator (TPA). If <br />an employee does not report for a random test, and it is the first (1) time the employee <br />has failed to report, the TPA may allow the employee to take the test without reporting to <br />the EAP for further review. Employees may choose to take a "First Occurrence Clause" <br />at this time. Employees may utilize this clause only one (1) time. However, once this <br />"First Occurrence Clause" has been utilized, an employee who fails to report for a <br />random test at any time in the future will be required to contact to the EAP for evaluation <br />and to receive instructions on the required procedure(s) for removing the "Note <br />Available" status from his/her card. <br />PROBABLE CAUSE TESTING <br />An employee may be subject to drug and alcohol testing for Probable Cause based on <br />observed and documented unusual behavior. Circumstances sufficient to lead a <br />reasonable person to suspect that an employee is under the influence of, or is in <br />possession of a controlled substance shall be determined by an immediate supervisor and <br />should be confirmed by one other supervisor whenever possible.
