discuss the use of this medication with the medical review officer and may be required to identify the physician prescribing the medication and authorize the MRO to discuss the use of the medication with that physician, including its possible side effects and its relationship to the driver's ability to safely operate a commercial motor vehicle. ln the event it is determined that a driver is taking or is under the influence of a prescribed medication that will adversely affect his/her ability to safely operate a commercial motor vehicle and/or pose a significant risk of substantial harm to the driver or the general public, the driver will be removed from the performance of any safety-sensitive functions and/or placed on a medical leave of absence until that threat is acceptably reduced or eliminated. Visu-Sewer further reserves the right to place any employee taking a prescribed medication on a temporary medical leave of absence untilthe information described above is provided. Drug And Alcohol Background Check Any driver Visu-Sewer intends to hire or use to perform a safety-sensitive function wilt be required to undergo a background check to determine his/her compliance with the drug and alcohol prohibitions of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations during the previous 2 years. All drivers will therefore be required to sign an appropriate consent form authorizing their previous employers to release this information to Visu-Sewer (APPENDIX C - SAFETY PERFORMANCE HISTORY RECORD (DOT-REG U LATED EMPLOYEES). Visu-Sewer will then obtain information on the driver's alcohol tests with a concentration result of 0.04 or greater, positive drug test results and refusals to be tested, within the preceding 2 years from all of the driver's previous employers during that time period. This information may be provided through a personal interview, telephone interview, letter or other confidential method and will be maintained in a confidential reference file. Visu-Sewer will make a good faith effort to obtain and review the above information prior to allowing a driver to perform a safety-sensitive function. lf this is not feasible, Visu-Sewer will attempt to obtain the required information within 14 days after the first time the driver performs a safety-sensitive function, regardless of that individual's subsequent performance of those duties. No driver will be allowed to perform a safety-sensitive function if this information has not been obtained within 14 days, unless Visu-Sewer is unable to do so through no fault of its own. ln the event of such a circumstance, Visu-Sewer will document its efforts to obtain the requested information in the reference file. No driver will be allowed to perform a safety-sensitive function if Visu-Sewer discovers that he/she has had an alcohol test with a concentration of 0.04 or greater, a verified positive drug test result or has refused to be tested, unless and until Visu-Sewer confirms that the driver has undergone an assessment by a substance abuse professional (SAP), has complied with any recommendations the SAP may have made with respect to rehabilitation, and has passed return-to-duty drug and/or alcohol tests.
