17 <br />primary specimen. The MRO shall honor such a request if it is <br />made within 72 hours of the employee having been notified of a <br />verified positive test result. Trisco System, Inc. employees shall be <br />responsible for the cost of any second test charges. <br />xii. When the MRO informs the laboratory in writing that the <br />employee has requested a test of the split specimen, the laboratory <br />shall forward, to a different DHHS approved laboratory, the split <br />specimen bottle, with seal intact, a copy of the MRO request, and <br />the split specimen copy of the chain of custody form with <br />appropriate chain of custody entries. <br />xiii. The result of the test of the split specimen is transmitted by the <br />second laboratory to the MRO. <br />xiv. Action required by DOT agency regulations as the result of a <br />positive drug test (e.g., removal from performing a safety sensitive <br />function) is not stayed pending the result of the test of the split <br />specimen. <br />xv. If the result of the test of the split specimen fails to reconfirm the <br />presence of the drug(s) or drug metabolite(s) found in the primary <br />specimen, the MRO shall cancel the test, and report the <br />cancellation and the reasons for it to the DOT, the employer, and <br />the employee. <br />11 Upon receiving the specimen from the individual, the collection site person shall <br />determine if it has at least 30 milliliters of urine. If the individual is unable to <br />provide such a quantity of urine, the collection site person shall instruct the <br />individual to drink not more than 24 ounces of fluids and, after a period of up to 2 <br />hours, again attempt to provide a complete sample using a fresh collection <br />container. The original insufficient specimen shall be discarded. If the employee <br />is still unable to provide an adequate specimen, the insufficient specimen shall be <br />discarded, testing discontinued, and the Company so notified. The MRO shall <br />refer the individual for a medical evaluation to develop pertinent information <br />concerning whether the individual’s inability to provide a specimen is genuine or <br />constitutes a refusal to test. (In pre placement testing, if the Company does not <br />wish to hire the individual, the MRO is not required to make such a referral.) <br />Upon completion of the examination, the MRO shall report their conclusions to <br />Trisco Systems, Inc. in writing. <br />12 After the specimen has been provided and submitted to the collection site person, <br />the individual shall be allowed to wash their hands. <br />13 Immediately after the specimen is collected, the collection site person shall <br />measure the temperature of the specimen. The temperature measuring device <br />used must accurately reflect the temperature of the specimen and not contaminate <br />the specimen. The time from urination to temperature measure is critical and in <br />no case shall exceed 4 minutes. <br />14 A specimen temperature outside the range of 32.5 - 37.7 C or 90.5 - 99.8 F <br />constitutes a reason to believe that the individual has altered or substituted the <br />specimen. In such cases, the individual supplying the specimen may volunteer to
