A return -to -duty test, as a minimum, will be for the substance associated with the violation. A return -to- duty test may, however, be for both drugs and alcohol. The decision belongs solely to the SAP from information gained during the SAP-evaluation/treatment processes. The results of a return -to -duty drug test must be negative in order "to count" and allow the employee to return to work. A cancelled test must be recollected; a positive test or refusal -to -test will be considered as a new, separate violation. When the employee "passes" their return -to -duty test, their name is immediately placed into the Company's random testing pool. If the Company has a zero tolerance policy, any covered safety -sensitive employee who has a DOT drug or alcohol violation will be terminated upon such violation (refer to Appendix D, Company Disciplinary Actions and Additional Procedures). However, the employee will be referred to a SAP. The employee will be made aware that they must complete the DOT return -to -duty process prior to again performing covered safety -sensitive work for a company that is subject to the DOT alcohol and drug testing regulations. Follow-up Testing. The Company will conduct follow-up testing, as a series of tests that occur after an employee returns to covered safety -sensitive work, following a negative result on the return -to -duty drug and/ or alcohol tests. Follow-up testing, as a minimum, will be for the substance associated with the violation. In addition, follow- up testing may be for both drug and alcohol, as directed by the SAP's written follow-up testing plan. Follow-up testing is the Company's responsibility to conduct. Follow-up testing will run concurrently with random testing. All follow-up tests will be conducted using direct -observation collection procedures. The number and frequency of the follow-up tests will be determined by the SAP, but shall consist of at least six tests in the first 12 months following the covered employee's return to duty. The follow-up plan will give both the number of tests and their frequency; the Company will select the actual day and time of the test and the tests are unannounced. Follow-up testing shall not exceed 60 months from the date of the covered employee's return to duty. The SAP may terminate the requirement for follow-up testing at any time after the first six tests have been administered, if the SAP determines that such testing is no longer necessary. Even if the Company has a zero tolerance policy, in the case where the Company hires an employee who previously had a positive test and successfully completed the return -to -duty process and has an acceptable SAP evaluation, the Company must follow the follow-up testing procedure in accordance with the DOT alcohol and drug testing regulations. 2. Drug Tests That Require Direct Observation Procedures Compliance. The Company will conduct all return -to -duty and follow-up drug tests using the direct observation collection procedures specified by Part 40. Pre -employment, post -accident, reasonable suspicion/cause and random drug tests are normally conducted by giving the employee the privilege of privacy when providing the urine specimen, However, should it become required that these collections be conducted under direct observation procedures, the Company will explain to the employee the reason(s) and convey instructions to the collector to ensure that this done. Direct observation procedures will also be used for collections when a specimen is provided and the temperature is out of range, when the specimen appears to have been tampered with or when a previous specimen has been reported as invalid, adulterated, substituted or negative -dilute with a creatinine concentration greater than or equal to 2 mgldL but less than or equal to 5 mgldL, as defined in Part 40. If a service agent is aware that a directly observed collection should have been collected but was not, the service agent will inform the Company to direct the employee to have an immediate recollection under observation. 3. Specimen Collection Procedures Compliance. The Company will follow the requirements of Part 40 for its DOT collections. A full description of DOT collection requirements that collectors will follow can be found in Part 40, Subpart C ("Urine Collection Personnel"), and Subpart D ("Collection Sites, Forms, Equipment and Supplies Used in a DOT Urine Collection"), and Subpart E ("Urine Specimen Collections"), Premium Concrete Services, Inc.- PHMSA DRUG/ALCOHOL PLAN 21 T CC7h�IPLIAtVCF MAN4GE`.IENII 3ERVIGE INC 201 (upda[O..:G21 I f l:'.- PIC•'.15r- .. .r -, rrnicT,mi rn Q601 ino I, ri'MrrWI I'ry r—Hrht 1rl ;c fhr 11 0 1 I- -.,.- :,,I ,air,
