alcohol test. The BAT shall note in the "Remarks" section that a different BAT <br />conducted the screen test. <br />4. The BAT shall open, in the presence of the employee, a new individually sealed <br />mouthpiece and attach the mouthpiece to the EBT in accordance with the <br />manufacturer's instructions. The BAT will then instruct the employee to blow <br />forcefully into the mouthpiece for at least 6 seconds or until the EBT indicates <br />that an adequate amount of breath has been obtained. <br />5. The BAT shall ensure, prior to the confirmation test being administered to the <br />employee, that the EBT shall register 0.00 on an air blank. If the reading is <br />greater, the BAT shall conduct one more air blank. Should the EBT again register <br />greater than 0.00, the testing shall not proceed using that EBT. An EBT taken out <br />of service because of failure to perform an air blank accurately shall not be used <br />for testing until a check of external calibration is conducted and the EBT is found <br />to be within tolerance limits. Alcohol testing using another EBT may proceed. <br />6. In the event that the screening and confirmation test results are not identical, the <br />confirmation test result is deemed to be the final result upon which any <br />disciplinary action by Trisco Systems, Inc. may be taken in order to comply with <br />the requirements of the AMPP and any applicable federal requirements. <br />7. If the EBT provides a printed result but does not print the results directly onto the <br />form, the BAT shall show the employee the result displayed on the EBT. The <br />BAT shall then affix the test result printout to the breath alcohol test form in the <br />designated space. The result shall be secured in such a manner that will provide <br />clear evidence of removal, such as the use of tamper evident tape. <br />8. If the EBT prints the test results directly onto the alcohol form, the BAT shall <br />show the employee the result displayed on the EBT. <br />9. After the confirmation test is completed, the BAT shall date the form and sign the <br />certification in Step 3 of the form. The employee shall then be instructed to sign <br />the certification and fill in the date in Step 4. If the employee should elect to not <br />sign the certification or to provide their initials in the log book entry for the test <br />conducted, it shall not be considered a refusal to be tested. The BAT shall then <br />note the employee's failure to sign or initial the log book entry in the "Remarks" <br />section of the testing form. <br />10. If a test result printed by the EBT does not match the displayed result, the BAT <br />and employee shall initial or sign the notation on the testing form. The test shall <br />be considered "invalid" and the Trisco Systems, Inc. representative and the <br />employee shall be so advised. <br />11. The BAT shall transmit all alcohol testing results to the APM or other designated <br />Trisco Systems, Inc. representative in a confidential manner. All communications <br />by BATS shall be to the APM or designee only and may be provided in writing, in <br />person, or by telephone or electronic means. The BAT shall ensure that <br />immediate transmission of the test results to Trisco Systems, Inc. is conducted in <br />order for Trisco Systems, Inc. to prevent the employee from performing any <br />safety sensitive functions. <br />12. Should the initial transmission not be in writing, but via telephone notification, <br />the APM or designee shall establish a mechanism to verify the identity of the <br />BAT providing the information. The BAT shall follow the initial transmission by <br />61 <br />
