Browning Chapman, LLC DRUG FREE WORKPLACE POLICY Chapter 5 Page 16 of 477 © Safety Resources, Inc. 2016 4. Specimen Retest Protocol: When the MRO has informed the employee of a verified “positive drug test” or “refusal to test” because of adulteration or substitution, the employee/worker has 72 hours from the time of notification to request a retest of his specimen at a different SAMHSA laboratory. The cost of the test will be the responsibility of the employee/worker. The employee may make the request verbally or in writing and make proper arrangements for payment with the MRO service. If the result of the retest is different from the original result, the test will be cancelled, and a recollection will be needed. C. ALCOHOL TESTING PROCEDURES Alcohol testing is required for probable cause, post-accident/incident, and in immediate random testing situations. Tests for alcohol shall be performed using the breath or blood to determine a BAC (blood alcohol content). If possible, a breathalyzer type instrument conforming to DOT standards should be used. If that is not available, then a blood draw may be used. Failure to provide a sufficient breath sample to complete a breath test or r efusing to provide a blood sample will be considered a “refusal to test” and have the same consequences as a positive test. All alcohol test results with a confirmation test BAC level of .04 or higher will be considered positive and will require the employee/worker to be removed from the owner’s property immediately. This result will also invalidate the employees/workers CCS card, and in order to become eligible for a CCS card again the individual will have to complete the required program of rehabilitation outlined by this policy. All alcohol test results with a confirmation test BAC level of .020 through .039 will require the worker/employee to be removed from the owner’s site for twenty-four (24) hours or until his/her next scheduled on duty time, whichever is longer. Any initial test that indicates a BAC of .02 or greater will be confirmed by an EBT operated by a BAT. The confirmation test will be performed no sooner than fifteen (15) minutes and no later than thirty (30) minutes following the completion of the initial test, per present DOT protocol. DRUG TESTING RESULTS AND SANCTIONS/CONSEQUENCES A. CCS IDENTIFICATION CARD AND DATABASE PROTOCOL: 1. Test results from all CCS required testing would be entered into the CCS database. The employee’s annual test date will automatically be updated with the entry of a negative result. 2. A CCS card will be issued to the employee with a negative test result. A new card will not be issued each time a test is taken; rather, the card will be issued periodically as is n eeded to update the employee’s photo and/or to replace a worn, unreadable card. 3. The CCS cards will display the employee’s picture, name, and a computer generated identification number. If the employee is collected at a location without the capabilities to take photos, the CCS ID card will be issued without a picture. NOTE: All CCS and CCS reciprocity cards must have a photo on them by January 1, 2006, and any cards issued after July 1, 2004 must have pictures on them. If a photo was not taken at the time o f testing, Midwest Toxicology can take one for you at a later date and reissue the card. There will be a fee for this service. The CCS Substance Abuse Card is the property of CCS and contractors are asked to make every effort to retrieve the card of any person whose card has become invalid. Contractors are required to send testing results to the database for tests taken for post-accident, annual, probable cause/reasonable suspicion, random, follow-up, and return to duty testing.
