Split Sample Sample Clauses
The Split Sample clause defines how a single sample is divided into multiple portions for separate testing or analysis. In practice, this clause specifies the procedures for splitting a sample, such as the timing, method, and parties involved, and may outline how each portion is allocated for independent verification or dispute resolution. Its core function is to ensure fairness and transparency in testing by allowing each party access to an identical portion of the original sample, thereby reducing the risk of bias or error in results.
Split Sample. 1. At the time a drug test is administered, a sufficient sample will be collected so that the sample may be split into two separately marked, sealed containers. All protocols regarding identification of the sample and chain of custody will be observed.
2.

These test(s) are conducted at the expense of the City of Coral Springs. The Coral Springs Police Department and the City of Coral Springs will not be notified in the case of a positive result until and unless the confirmation test also proves positive.
3. In the event the initial drug test of the first sample yields a positive test result for a drug pursuant to this policy, the employee, at his own expense, may elect to have the second or split sample tested at a federal/state certified hospital or laboratory of the employee's choice. The testing methodology shall be equal to or better than the methodology used on the initial test and the same threshold for a positive result shall be used. Chain of custody protocols shall be followed to ensure the integrity of the testing.
4. This second or split sample must be requested within 60 calendar days of notification to the member by the City of a positive test result.

If the Employer or Employee objects to testing a sample which has been frozen, then the Employee shall have the right to request that his designated doctor or lab be given a sample of his specimen at the same time the original specimen is taken so that a separate test can be administered, and the cost of same be fully paid by the Employee.
