Browning Chapman, LLC DRUG FREE WORKPLACE POLICY Chapter 5 Page 14 of 477 © Safety Resources, Inc. 2016 4. Random testing - CCS owners are required to perform random drug testing on their contractor employees working on their premises. It is the owner’s responsibility to see that their selection is truly random without discrimination or arbitrary selection. Random testing is to be an unannounced, unscheduled drug a nd/or alcohol test, and upon notification the employee must immediately report to the testing facility. (Owners shall give notification of random testing in sufficient time before the end of the shift so as to accommodate a probability of a 2-hour wait time should an employee be unable to accommodate the test.) 5. Return to Duty Testing – For an employee to be eligible to return to work after having a positive test result, he will be required to take a return to duty test, and the result must be negative. Pa yment arrangements for a return to duty test are the responsibility of the employee. 6. Follow-up Testing –An employee who is subject to unscheduled follow-up testing, as the result of a SAP requirement, will be required to have such test performed upon notification, and the results must be negative. They will be notified by telephone or letter, that they are required to report for testing the following day after receiving notification. If a worker/employee is unable to complete a required follow-up test due to being laid off or is working out of the area, their CCS card will be made noncompliant until they report for the follow-up test. It will be the responsibility of the worker/employee to contact the third party administrator as soon as they are employed again and/or are back in the local area. The length of time that was designated by the SAP to complete their follow up tests will be extended by the length of time they are noncompliant for not reporting for the test. (The third party administrator will make the determination of the time frame to determine if the employee was unable to report, or refused to report. – IE: they were on vacation at the time the letter arrived, they were not working at the time they were called back, they didn’t get the letter f or a week, etc.) Payment arrangements for follow-up testing are the responsibility of the employee. B. DRUG TESTING PROCEDURES 1. Specimen Collection: Specimen collection will be conducted in accordance with the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) “Mandatory Guidelines for the Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs,” as set forth in the Federal Register, and testing shall only be performed by DHHS -approved laboratories as set forth in the Federal Register. Specimen collection will be conducted in accordance with applicable state and federal law. The CCS program does not follow the complete regulatory testing requirements of the DOT, only the general guidelines. The procedure will be designed to ensure the security and integrity of the specimen provided by each employee and those procedures will follow accepted federal DOT chain-of-custody guidelines. Moreover, every reasonable effort will be made to maintain the dignity of anyone submitting a specimen for this program. If an employee is unable to supply a sample at the time of testing they could be required to wait up to two hours, without leaving the testing facility. Failure to remain and complete the testing procedure could be considered as a refusal to test, which carries the same sanction s as a positive test result. To accommodate this probability notification of random testing shall be given in ample time before the end of the shift. a. The employee will provide a urine specimen for the drug test. An exception to this rule would be if a worker could present written documentation from a medical doctor for his inability to provide an approved specimen. In situations where the worker/employee is not physically able to produce proper urine sample for testing a test may be done using a different testing method (hair, saliva, etc.), if approved by the third party administrator or the CCS substance abuse committee. The worker/employee or company must contact the third party administrator for instruction on obtaining a test by an alternate method. b. A photo ID must be presented at the time of collection to ensure proper identity. c. The donor will be asked to empty his pockets and display them to the collector, as required by Department of Transportation collection rules and regulations.
