The Company may seek payment or reimbursement of all or part of the cost of the split specimen from the employee. <br />Part 40 takes no position on who ultimately pays the cost of the test, so long as the Company ensures that the <br />testing is conducted as required and the results released appropriately. <br />Laboratory. The testing of <br />the split specimen will be <br />conducted at another HHS-certified laboratory, different from <br />the original laboratory. <br />The <br />MRO will select the second laboratory. The split specimen will be tested for the same <br />substance or condition <br />that <br />was found in the primary <br />specimen. The MRO will report back to the DER and the <br />employee whether the <br />split <br />reconfirms the primary. <br />If the test of the split does not reconfirm the primary, both <br />tests will be cancelled <br />as if <br />they never occurred. <br />10.

ALCOHOL MISUSE PREVENTION PROGRAM <br />DOT -Required Alcohol Tests <br />Compliance. The Company will ensure that each employee who performs aDOT-covered function will be alcohol <br />tested for the following reasons when called for by Part 199. All alcohol tests will be conducted following the <br />procedures of Part 40. <br />Pre -Employment Testing. PHMSA does not mandate apre-employment alcohol test for covered safety - <br />sensitive employees in the pipeline industry. PHMSA does give operators and contractors who wish to conduct <br />a pre- employment alcohol test the authority to do so. If the Company decides to conduct pre- employment <br />alcohol testing, all applicants will be advised of the test prior to the test occurring, and all tests will be conducted <br />before the first performance of covered functions by every covered safety -sensitive employee (whether a <br />new employee or someone who has transferred to a position involving the performance of covered functions). <br />The Company will treat all covered safety -sensitive employees the same for the purpose of pre- employment alcohol <br />testing; the Company will not test some covered safety -sensitive employees and not others. The Company will <br />conduct the pre -employment tests after making a contingent offer of employment or transfer, subject to the employee <br />passing the pre -employment alcohol test. A result of less than 0,02 alcohol concentration is required prior to <br />performing covered functions. <br />Post -Accident Testing. As soon as possible, the Company will alcohol test each surviving covered safety -sensitive <br />employee whose performance of a covered function either contributed to the accident or cannot be completely <br />discounted as a contributing factor to the accident. The Company may decide not to test under this paragraph but <br />such a decision will be based on specific information that the covered safety -sensitive employee's performance had <br />no role in the cause(s) or severity of the accident. The Company will document the decisions that support the <br />determination not to conduct a post -accident alcohol test. <br />If a test required by this section is not administered within the 8 hours following the accident, the Company will <br />prepare and maintain its decision stating the reasons why the test was not promptly administered. If a test required <br />by the above paragraph of this section is not administered within 8 hours following the accident, the Company will <br />cease attempts to administer an alcohol test and will state in the record the reasons for not administering the test. <br />Refer to Appendix F: Post -Accident or Reasonable Cause/Suspicion Supervisor Written Record <br />If the alcohol test is not completed within 2 hours the Company will prepare and maintain a written statement <br />documenting the reason the test <br />was not conducted. <br />If the test is not completed within 8 <br />hours, the Company <br />shall cease attempts to do so. <br />The Company will <br />take all reasonable steps to obtain <br />a breath test from an <br />employee after an accident, but <br />any injury should be <br />treated first. Nothing in this section <br />shall be construed to <br />require the delay of necessary <br />medical attention for <br />injured people following an accident, <br />to prohibit a covered <br />safety -sensitive employee from <br />leaving the scene of <br />an accident for the period necessary <br />to obtain assistance in <br />esponding to the accident, or to <br />obtain necessary emergency medical care. <br />Premium Concrete Services, Inc.- PHMSA DRUG/ALCOHOL PLAN 28 <br />NATIONAL COMPLIANCE MANApEME�IT SERVICE, INC.
