Sample Collection and Testing Clause Samples
The Sample Collection and Testing clause outlines the procedures and requirements for obtaining and analyzing samples relevant to the agreement. It typically specifies who is responsible for collecting samples, the methods to be used, and the standards or laboratories that must be followed for testing. This clause ensures that both parties have a clear understanding of how samples will be handled and tested, thereby reducing disputes over quality, compliance, or performance issues.
Sample Collection and Testing. The collection and testing of urine and blood samples shall be performed at a US HealthWorks clinic. In the event that collection and testing at DrugProof is not feasible for any reason, the collection and testing shall be at another laboratory or health care professional qualified and authorized to administer and perform drug testing, evaluation and reporting according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) or successor agency guidelines. The sample collection and testing shall be performed consistent with SAMSHA guidelines. Employees have the right, upon making a request promptly after being informed of the request for a sample, to a reasonable opportunity for Association and/or legal representation to be present during the submission of the sample, provided that the Association or legal representative must be available at the testing facility within one-half hour of the request. Prior to submitting to a urine or blood sample, the employee will be required to sign a consent and release form as attached to this Appendix. Failure of the employee to sign the consent and release form as attached shall be grounds for discipline. A split sample shall be reserved in all cases for an independent analysis in the event of a positive test result. All samples must be stored in a manner as established by SAMHSA. All positive confirmed samples and related paperwork must be retained by the laboratory for at least six (6) months or for the duration of any grievance, disciplinary action, or legal proceedings, whichever is longer.
