Common use of Reasonable Cause Testing Clause in Contracts

Reasonable Cause Testing. An employee will be tested for reasonable cause when specific, reliable objective facts and circumstances are sufficient to warrant a prudent person to believe that the employee more probably than not may have used a controlled substance or alcohol as evidenced by work performance, behavior or appearance while on the job site. If cause results from an observation, the observation must be confirmed by a second member of Contractor supervision and those Contractor representatives will endeavor to consult with the prime Contractor's Safety Representative or designee. The Contractor will notify the Substance Abuse Coordinator within one (1) working day of directing the employee to a reasonable cause test.
