Browning Chapman, LLC DRUG FREE WORKPLACE POLICY Chapter 5 Page 17 of 477 © Safety Resources, Inc. 2016 B. EXPLANATION OF DRUG TESTING RESULTS 1. Negative Testing Result – A result is considered negative if the laboratory finds no drug metabolite levels over the confirmed cutoff values. The employee’s card will be updated in the CCS database. 2. Positive Testing Result – A result is considered positive if the presence of the drug meets or exceeds both the screening and confirmation levels listed in Appendix B, as verified by a MRO, and the MRO has determined that the test results do not stem from use of prescription medications, over the counter medications, food, or any reason other than the use of illegal substances or controlled substances used illegally. 3. Diluted Specimen - A diluted specimen result will require a retest. The CCS database manager will report the dilute to the designated contractor representative. A detailed explanation of a diluted specimen and instructions regarding recollection procedures are included in Appendix B, and are to be furnished to the employee prior to retesting. A second diluted test without a medical reason carries the same consequences as testing positive. The collection for another test must be done the following morning of the workday after the employee /contractor has been notified, unless there are acceptable circumstances communicated to and approve d by the third party administrator. The administrator can at their discretion reject the explanation. If the two parties cannot agree they can contact the CCS Office and the Substance Abuse Committee may consider the matter further. 4. Refusal to Test - Refusal to submit to a test will carry the same consequences as a positive test. It will be considered a refusal to test if the employee: a. Fails to appear for any required test within a reasonable time, or fails to remain at the testing site until the testing process is complete. b. Fails to provide sufficient amount of urine within the required time (2 hours) unless a legitimate medical explanation exists. This determination of whether a valid medical explanation exists rests with the MRO. c. Fails to undergo a medical examination or evaluation to meet medical explanation requirements in item b above. d. Is issued an adulterated or substituted test result e. Fails to cooperate with any part of the testing process (e.g., refuse to empty pockets whe n so directed by the collector, behaves in a confrontational way that disrupts the collection process). 5. Adulterated Test - If it is determined that a test was tampered with by the substitution or addition of other ingredients to mask the presence or use of illegal drugs as outlined earlier in this program, the test result shall be treated as a positive, and will have the same consequences as a positive test result. When a recollection is required due to various reasons such as but not limited to an adulter ated specimen or the temperature of a specimen, etc., it shall be an observed recollection in keeping with DOT protocol.
