any consideration is given to collecting a specimen for drug and <br />alcohol testing. Such Employees may request that a Union <br />Representative be available or present prior to any action taken <br />by an Employer, if any, at any stage of the policy and its <br />administration. If an Employee is aggrieved by any action taken <br />under this BCRC Drug and Alcohol Policy and his/her com- <br />plaint cannot be resolved, the complaint may, if the Employee or <br />Union requests, be referred as grievance under the grievance and <br />arbitration provisions of the Employee's collective bargaining <br />agreement. In the event the matter is referred to arbitration, <br />the arbitrator shall be bound substantively by the provision of <br />this BCRC Drug and Alcohol Policy:There is no stipend for <br />these tests. <br />The following provisions apply to any Post-Accident/Incident <br />Testing of a Reporting Employee, and shall limit and take <br />precedence over any other provisions of this BCRC Policy <br />relating to Post-Accident/Incident Testing. An Employer shall <br />not refer a Reporting Employee for Post-Accident/Incident <br />Testing unless the Employer has a reasonable basis for believing <br />that drug or alcohol use by the Reporting Employee could have <br />contributed to the injury or illness. <br />The Employer shall consider the following factors in determining <br />whether or not the Employer has a reasonable basis for believing <br />that drug or alcohol use by the Reporting Employee could have <br />contributed to the injury or illness: <br />(1) Whether drug or alcohol use could have contributed to <br />the injury or illness; <br />(2) Whether the Employer is also requesting that other <br />employees involved in the accident/incident be tested; <br />(3) Whether the Employer has a heightened interest in <br />determining if drug and/or alcohol use could have <br />contributed to the injury or illness due to the <br />hazardousness of the work being performed when the <br />injury or illness occurred; and <br />(4) All other relevant factors. <br />30 <br />
