PHYSICAL EXAMINATION AND PROCEDURE. The physical examination and procedure are detailed in an addendum to this policy. Amendments to the addendum shall not affect any other section in this policy. Whenever a sworn supervisor deems a drug test necessary for any of the eight reasons listed in cause for testing, the manager or supervisor shall send the employee to the City’s medical facility for testing. If the employee is impaired or is for any reason deemed unsafe to transport him or herself to the facility, the manager or supervisor or designee shall transport the employee to the City’s medical facility for the test. The employee shall be paid for time spent at the examination. The City shall bear the expense of the examination, and shall provide transportation to and from the medical facility and the employee’s work site. The medical provider uses a certified National Institute of Drug abuse (NIDA) laboratory. The certification of laboratories performing drug testing for Federal agencies was developed by NIDA to assure strict adherence to the rigorous standards of testing and custody control form. Test results are returned to the Medical Review Officer (MRO). The initial test is a process called Urine Drug Screen # 37042N. If all results are negative, the test is complete. If a positive test result is noticed, a secondary test using the Gas Chromatography/Mass spectrophotometry (GCMS) method is conducted by the laboratory to verify the results. This test has been used as binding legal and medical precedent. If the subsequent test is negative, then the test is considered negative for all purposes. If the subsequent test confirms a positive finding, it is noted on the report and sent to the MRO. At this point, in cases other than THC and cocaine, the MRO will contact the employee to discuss the possibility that the person has taken medication (prescription or otherwise) that was not indicated on the original form completed by the employee. The employee is not informed of a positive result, he or she is just asked to clarify any drug intake. The final results are then sent by the MRO to the City. Drugs tested for include, but are not limited to Amphetamines, Barbiturates, Benzodiazepines, Cocaine, Methadone, Methaqualone, Opiates, PCP, THC, Propoxyphene, and Alcohol. Cut off levels shall be consistent with the current guidelines issued by NIDA.
