Random Controlled Substance and Alcohol Testing Clause Samples
The Random Controlled Substance and Alcohol Testing clause establishes the employer's right to conduct unannounced drug and alcohol tests on employees. Typically, this means employees may be selected at random intervals to provide samples for testing, regardless of whether there is suspicion of substance use. This clause helps ensure a safe and compliant workplace by deterring substance abuse and allowing the employer to address potential safety risks proactively.
Random Controlled Substance and Alcohol Testing. In compliance with federal law, Onaway Area Community Schools will conduct random, unannounced controlled substance and alcohol tests on drivers. The total number of random controlled substance tests conducted each year will equal at least 50% of the safety sensitive drivers. Random alcohol testing will be conducted just before, during, or after a driver's performance of safety-sensitive duties. Each year, Onaway Area Community Schools will test at least 25% of all the safety-sensitive drivers. The testing dates and times will be unannounced and with unpredictable frequency throughout the year. Some drivers may be tested more than once per year, some may not be tested at all depending on the random selection process. Once notified of selection of testing, a driver must proceed to a collection site to accomplish the testing. The selection of employees for random alcohol and controlled substances testing shall be made by a scientifically valid method, such as a random number table from a computer based random number generator. The method of selection for random testing will be neutral so that all safety sensitive employees subject to the testing will have an equal chance to be randomly selected.
