An individual who has a positive alcohol test may request a confirmatory blood test in accordance with the Appeals section. 6.4.5. In order to ensure the full reliability and accuracy of drug assays, the accurate reporting of test results, and the integrity and efficacy of drug testing programs, the Company may make changes to this specification to reflect improvements in the available science and technology. 6.5. Appeals: 6.5.1. An employee may appeal the results of a drug test by submitting a written request for independent GC/MS confirmation to the Company within seventy- two (72) hours of receipt of the final test result from the MRO. The employee may specify testing by the original laboratory or by a second laboratory that is certified by DHHS. The employee shall be required to pay in advance the cost of shipment and reanalysis of the split sample. The employee will be reinstated with back pay, and reimbursed for such re -testing expense if the re -test is negative. 6.5.2. Since some analyses may deteriorate during storage, the reanalysis is NOT subject to specific cut-off requirements, but must only provide data sufficient to confirm the presence of the drug(s) or metabolite(s). 6.5.3. An individual who has a positive alcohol test may request further confirmation by voluntarily providing a blood specimen for confirmatory analysis by gas chromatography. 6.5.4. The request for this additional confirmation must be made in writing at the time the breath alcohol analysis is completed. Failure of the individual to request a confirmatory blood test will be considered to indicate that the individual accepts the breath test results. 6.5.5.
