INSUFFICIENT SPECIMEN <br />A person who provides an insufficient specimen of urine or breath when required to do so shall be <br />referred to an appropriate medical professional for evaluation at the participant's expense. If the <br />medical evaluation fails to reveal an acceptable medical explanation for the inability to provide a <br />specimen, the donor shall be considered to have refused to test and shall be subject to the rules as <br />outlined in this policy. If a legitimate medical reason is revealed, no action shall be taken. <br />DILUTED SPECIMEN <br />An employee providing a diluted specimen will be given the opportunity to return to a collection <br />site within forty-eight (48) hours to provide a second (2nd) specimen, on his/her own time. <br />Employees should refrain from excessive consumption of fluids prior to the retest. No adverse <br />action shall be taken against any employee based on a first (1) diluted specimen. A second (2nd) <br />diluted specimen, without a valid medical reason, will be treated as a refusal to submit to testing. <br />ADULTERATED, SUBSTITUTED, AND/OR OUT -OF -TEMPERATURE RANGE SPECIMEN <br />When a urine specimen is reported as adulterated, or substituted, or when the temperature range is <br />below 90 degrees or above 100 degrees F., the employee will be considered to have not cooperated <br />with the testing process, and the test will be considered a refusal to be tested. If the temperature is <br />out of range, the employee will be offered the opportunity to take an additional observed test prior <br />to leaving the site. A refusal to test will be considered non-compliance and the employee will be <br />made "N/A" and referred to the EAP. <br />
