The observer must request the employee to raise his or her shirt, blouse, or dress/skirt, as appropriate, above the waist; and lower clothing and underpants to show you, byturning around, that they do not have a prosthetic device. After the observer has determined that the employee does not have such a device, you may permit the employee to return clothing to its proper position for observed urination. The observer must watch the employee urinate into the collection container. Specifically, they are to watch the urine go from the employee's body into the collection container. The observer but not the collector, must not take the collection container from the employee, but must observe the specimen as the employee takesit to the collector. The collector, when someone else has acted as the observer, must include the observer's name in the "Remarks" line of the CCF (Step2). If the employee declines to allow a directly observed collection required or permitted under this section to occur, this is a refusal to test.

The DER will, after consulting with the MRO, direct the employee to obtain, within five days, an evaluation from a licensed physician, acceptable to the MRO, who has expertise in the medical issues raised bythe employee's failure to provide a sufficient specimen. (The MRO may perform this evaluation if the MRO has appropriate expertise.) If there is a valid medical reason, the test result will be changed by the MRO to "Cancelled." If there is not an adequate basisfor determining that a medical condition has, or with a high degree of probability could have, precluded the employee from providing a sufficient amount of urine, the MRO, will issue a "Refusal to Test".
