Canceling an Alcohol Test. The Company will ensure that an alcohol test is canceled if a fatal flaw occurs. Fatal flaws are: 1) in the case of a screening test conducted on a saliva ASD or a breath tube ASD, the STT or BAT reads the result either sooner than or later than the time allotted by the manufacturer; the saliva ASD does not activate; the device is used for a test after its expiration date; or, in the case of a screening or confirmation test conducted on an EBT, the sequential test number or alcohol concentration displayed on the EBT is not the same as the sequential test number or alcohol concentration on the printed result; 2) in the case of a confirmation test the BAT conducts the confirmation test before the end of the minimum 15-minute waiting period; the BAT does not conduct an air blank before the confirmation test; there is not a 0.00 result on the air blank conducted before the confirmation test; the EBT does not print the result; or, the next external calibration check of the EBT produces a result that differs by more than the tolerance stated in the CAP from the known value of the test standard. In this case, every result of 0.02 or above obtained on the EBT since the last valid external calibration check is canceled. The Company will ensure that an alcohol test is canceled if a correctable flaw occurs and is not corrected. Correctable flaws are: the BAT or STT does not sign the ATF; the BAT or STT fails to note on the "Remarks" line of the ATF that the employee has not signed the ATF after the result is obtained; and, the BAT or STT uses a non - DOT form for the test. Corrected Alcohol Problems. The Company will ensure that BATs and STTs will try to successfully complete each alcohol test for an employee. If they become aware of a problem that will cause the test to be canceled, they will try to correct the problem promptly, if practicable. Repeating the test is an acceptable part of this process. If repeating the testing process is necessary, a new test (new ATF, new device) must begin as soon as possible. If repeating the testing process is necessary, the technician is not limited in the number of attempts to complete the test, provided that the employee is making a good faith effort to comply with the testing process. If another testing device is not available for the new test at the testing site, the technician will immediately notify the DER and advise the DER that the test could not be completed. The DER will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that the test is conducted at another testing site as soon as possible. If the Company or its service agent administering the testing process becomes aware of a correctable flaw that has not been corrected, all practicable action will be taken to correct the problem so that the test is not cancelled. If the problem resulted from the omission of required information, the person responsible for providing the information must supply in writing the missing information and a signed statement that it is true and accurate. If the problem is the use of a non -DOT form, the technician must, as the person responsible for the use of the ncorrect form, certify in writing that the incorrect form contains all the information needed for a valid DOT alcohol test. The technician must also provide a signed statement that the incorrect form was used inadvertently or as the only means of conducting a test, in circumstances beyond the technician's control, and the steps the technician has taken to prevent future use of non -DOT forms for DOT tests. The technician must supply this information on the same business day on which the collector was notified of the problem, transmitting it by fax, e-mail or courier. If the technician cannot correct the problem, the technician must cancel the test. VII. PROGRAM ELEMENTS COMMON TO DRUG AND ALCOHOL Substance Abuse Professional Compliance. The Company will follow the requirements of Part 40 for its Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) obligations. A full description of the SAP requirements is in Part 40, Subpart O ("Substance Abuse Professionals and the Return -to -Duty Process'). Qualifications. The Company will refer employees only to SAP's who have the credentials, basic knowledge, and qualification training, including fulfilling obligations for continuing education courses, for DOT violations. The SAP will subscribe to the ODAPC list -serve website to keep current on any changes to the DOT alcohol and drug testing regulations. The SAP will not be an advocate for the Company or the employee. The SAP's function is to protect the public interest in safety by professionally evaluating the employee and recommending appropriate education/treatment, follow-up tests, and aftercare.
