Drug Testing Procedure. Tests for drugs shall be by oral fluid collection. The oral fluid specimens shall be collected under direct visual supervision of a Collector and in accordance with the testing device manufacturer’s recommended procedures for collection. Screening results may be provided by the Collector or by a laboratory. Confirmation tests shall be conducted at a laboratory.
Drug Testing Procedure. The procedure followed in giving the drug test, including but not limited to the collection of the sample, chain of custody, storage of the sample, the type of initial and confirmatory tests used, and the amount of drug or drug metabolite to be regarded as a positive drug test, will all be in conformance with Federal Regulations (Federal Register, Volume 53, No. 69, pg. 11979-11989). A “Split Specimen” shall be drawn in all drug testing procedures to eliminate any false positives.
Drug Testing Procedure. The laboratory shall commence testing of the sample within the first container only if the sample is received in an undamaged condition, properly sealed and labeled, and properly initialed by the member. The certified laboratory shall first conduct an initial screening of this sample. If illegal drugs are found in the sample, then that sample shall be submitted for confirmatory testing. The initial screening shall be accomplished by means of Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) or equally reliable testing methods, and the confirmatory test shall be accomplished by means of Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GS/MS). If as a result of the initial screening and confirmatory test, the test result is positive, the member will be contacted directly by the Medical Review Officer (M.R.O.) at the Human Factor and will be given the opportunity to explain the reasons for a positive test result. Should the member offer an explanation that in the judgment of the M.R.O. sufficiently explains the positive test result, the M.R.O. will consider the results as negative and the Employer will not be contacted. Should masking agents be found in the sample on the initial test, such shall be treated as a refusal to submit to testing and any option to pursue testing of the specimen in the second container shall be forfeited. The Employer shall be notified of such refusal to submit to testing. This refusal to submit to testing shall then subject the member to appropriate disciplinary action.
Drug Testing Procedure. The Company intends that drug and alcohol collection services will be conducted by a local provider which meets all of the standard state and federal requirements. A medical doctor will serve as a Medical Review Officer (“MRO”) and shall be involved in the communication and review of all test results.
