10 The authority for DOT drivers’ drug testing is derived from the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991 and is conducted in accordance with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Drug Testing Procedures Rules: 49 CFR Part 40. The remainder of Trisco Systems Inc., employees are designated Safety-sensitive Employees by Company policy. Drug Testing Circumstances In order to improve the health of employees and help provide a safer workplace, the Company will conduct drug testing. All applicants and “covered” employees will be tested under the following circumstances: 1 Pre-Placement Testing: Applicants for positions will be required to submit to drug testing. Positive results for any of the drugs screened will result in that applicant’s disqualification for employment. Due to the nature of employment conditions, the Company may conduct Pre-Placement testing for a period prior to employment up to (30) days past hire date. 2 Post-Accident Testing: As soon as possible after an accident (but not later than 32 hours after an accident), the Company will drug test any employee whose performance either contributed to the accident or cannot be completely discounted as a contributing factor to the accident. If an employee is injured, unconscious, or otherwise unable to evidence consent to the drug test, all reasonable steps (listed below) must be taken to obtain a urine sample. Management may decide not to test under this paragraph, but such a decision must be based on the best information available immediately after the accident that the employee’s performance could not have contributed to the accident or that, because of the time between that performance and accident, it is not likely that a drug test would reveal whether the performance was affected by drug use. POST ACCIDENT TESTING SHALL BE DONE: (a) On any surviving driver [who was performing safety sensitive functions with respect to the vehicle], of any motor vehicle involved in an accident, if the accident involved the loss of human life; (b) Who receives a citation under State or local law for a moving traffic violation arising from the accident; (c) Who, in the judgement of Trisco administration, has been involved in a high potential incident involving chemical or heavy equipment handling, or during critical procedure work, while that person was performing safety sensitive functions with respect to the incident. The Company must take all reasonable steps to obtain a urine sample from an employee following an accident. In the case of a conscious, but hospitalized employee, the supervisor should request that the hospital or medical facility obtain the sample from the employee. If an employee is injured, unconscious (employee is unable to communicate), or otherwise unable to evidence consent (employee is unable to sign custody and control form) to the drug test, all reasonable steps must be taken to obtain a urine sample from the employee. If an employee is conscious (employee can communicate) and he/she is able to evidence consent (employee able to sign custody
