Collection Site Personnel, <br />The Company will ensure that collection sites utilized by its employees are aware of their responsibilities with regard <br />to the DOT specimen collection process. These responsibilities are to collect urine specimens using Part 40 <br />procedures, current "DOT Urine Specimen Collection Guidelines" and applicable DOT agency regulations, ship the <br />specimens to a Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) certified laboratory for analysis, and distribute copies <br />of the Federal Drug Testing Custody and Control Form (CCF) to the laboratory, Medical Review Officer, employer or <br />employer's C/TPA and employee in a confidential manner. All attempts are made to use collectors who have been <br />trained in accordance with Part 40. The Company, or the Company's C/TPA, will ask the collection sites conducting <br />DOT collections to attest to the fact that they comply with DOT standards of practice. The direct supervisor of a covered <br />safety -sensitive employee shall not serve as a collector in conducting any required drug test unless it is otherwise <br />mpracticable. Collectors will complete requalification/certification every five years. Collectors will subscribe to the <br />ODAPC list -serve website to keep current on any changes to the DOT alcohol and drug testing regulations. <br />Collection Site, Forms, and Specimen. The Company will provide the employee with the specific location of <br />the collection site where the drug test will take place. The collector will select or allow the employee to select an <br />ndividually wrapped or sealed collection container from collection kit materials. In most cases, the Company will <br />provide the employee with a drug testing kit, which includes the CCF, to present to the collector. The only specimen <br />that will be conducted for any DOT collection is urine; the only form that will be used is the Federal CCF. <br />Collections. The Company will inform every employee that they are required to carry and present a current valid <br />photo ID, such as a driver's license, passport, or employer -issued picture ID to the collection site. The <br />employee will be advised that the collector will ask them to empty their pockets, remove any unnecessary <br />garments (the employee may retain their wallet) and wash and dry their hands prior to the collection. The <br />employee will be instructed to follow the collector's instructions throughout the collection process. Normally, <br />the employee will be afforded privacy to provide a urine specimen, Exceptions to the rule generally surround <br />issues of attempted adulteration or substitution of a specimen or any situation where questions of specimen <br />validity arise, like an unusual specimen temperature. <br />After the employee has provided the specimen (a minimum of 45 mL) of their urine into a collection container, <br />the collector will check the temperature and color of the urine. All DOT collections are "split specimen collections." <br />The collector will pour the urine into two separate bottles (bottle "A" as the primary specimen and bottle "B" <br />as the split specimen), seal them with tamper -evident tape, and then ask the employee to initial the seals after <br />they have been placed on the bottles. (Remember: Neither the employee nor the collector should let the specimen <br />out of their sight until it has been poured into two separate bottles and sealed.) Next, the employee will write their <br />name, date of birth, and daytime and evening phone numbers on the MRO Copy (Copy 2) of the CCF. This is so <br />the MRO can contact the employee directly if any questions arise about their test. <br />Lastly, the collector will complete the necessary documentation on Copy 1 of the CCF and package the CCF and <br />the two specimen bottles in the plastic bag and seal the bag for shipment to the laboratory. Copies of the CCF <br />will be distributed: Copy 2 to the MRO and Copy 4 to the employer or the employer's C/TPA; the collector keeps <br />Copy 3 and the employee gets Copy 5. The employee may list any prescription and over-the-counter <br />medications they may be taking on the back of their copy of the CCF (this may serve as a reminder for the employee <br />n the event the MRO calls to discuss their test results). <br />Possible collection issues. If the employee is unable to provide 45mL of urine on the first attempt, the time will be <br />noted, and they will be required to remain in the testing area under the supervision of the collection site personnel, <br />their supervisor, or a representative from their Company (e.g., supervisor accompanying the employee). Leaving <br />the testing area without authorization may be considered a refusal to test. The employee will be urged to drink <br />up to 40 oz. of fluid, distributed reasonably over a period of up to three hours, and asked to provide a new <br />specimen (into a new collection container). If the DER is contacted, the DER should instruct the employee to remain <br />at the collection site to complete the collection process. If the employee does not provide a sufficient specimen <br />within three hours, the DER, in consultation with the MRO, will direct the employee to obtain a medical evaluation <br />within five days to determine if there is an acceptable medical reason for not being able to provide a specimen. <br />If it is determined that there is no acceptable physiological or pre-existing psychological reason for not providing a <br />urine specimen, it will be considered a refusal to test. <br />Premium Concrete Services, Inc.- PHMSA DRUG/ALCOHOL PLAN 22 <br />�NATIONAL COMPLIANCE MANAG[MENT SEP.VICE, INC.
