Split Sample Testing Clause Samples
The Split Sample Testing clause establishes the right for parties to divide a sample of goods or materials into multiple portions for independent testing and verification. In practice, this means that if there is a dispute or need for quality assurance, each party can retain a portion of the original sample to conduct their own analysis, or send it to a third-party laboratory for unbiased results. This clause is essential for ensuring transparency and fairness in quality control processes, as it helps prevent disputes over test results and provides a clear method for resolving disagreements about the condition or compliance of goods.
Split Sample Testing. A. If a drug confirmation test is positive, the employee may, upon written request and at the employee’s expense, have the split sample tested by a DHHS-certified laboratory. This request shall be presented to the MRO within seventy-two (72) hours of being notified of a positive result.
B. In the event the split sample test confirms the results of the primary test, the Employer may proceed with the sanctions as set forth in this article.
C. In the event that the split sample test contradicts the result of the primary test, the split sample result is determined to be the final result. The results of this test, if positive, shall allow the Employer to proceed with sanctions as set forth in this article. If the results are negative, the employee shall be given the benefit of the doubt and no sanctions shall be imposed.
Split Sample Testing. An employee may elect to have the second portion of a split sample tested pursuant to the Mandatory Guidelines. The employee may have the second portion of the split sample tested at a laboratory of his/her choosing, provided however that the laboratory must be certified.
Split Sample Testing. The employee may request, within 72 hours of notification of a positive test by the MRO, that the split sample be tested at a separate DHHS certified laboratory. This request must be made in writing to the HR representative. The results of the split sample test shall be the final test results that are reported to the employer by the HR representative. The cost for transportation and testing of the split sample is the sole responsibility of the employee and must be paid for in advance. If results from the split sample are negative, Comcast will reimburse the employee. A copy of the results will be promptly given to the employee. Employees are advised that Comcast provides an Employee Assistance Program as part of its employee benefit program. Employees who may have a problem with alcohol consumption or illegal drug use are highly encouraged to take advantage of this program. Non-jeopardy referrals or voluntary participate in the program is desired.
Split Sample Testing. After the MRO has informed the employee that he/she will be reported to the School District as having tested positive for an illegal drug, the employee has the right to request a split sample test at another NIDA/DHHS certified laboratory. The employee must take any request to the MRO within 72 hours after the MRO-employee consultation (SEE: Items C and D above). The cost of the second laboratory analysis and the subsequent second MRO Review will be borne solely by the employee, not the School District). However, in any situation where the second test is negative, the employee shall be reimbursed by the School District for all costs related to the second test which are not otherwise covered by the employee’s hospitalization plan.
Split Sample Testing. In the event of a positive drug test the employee has the right to request that the split sample be sent to a different certified laboratory that has been mutually agreed to between the Union and the District for testing. Such a request must be delivered in writing to the Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources within seventy-two (72) hours of an employee’s notification of a positive test result and all costs associated therewith shall be borne solely by the employee. If the test of the split sample fails to confirm the presence of the controlled substance (“negative”), then the first positive report will be cancelled unless the lab finds evidence of an adulterant in the specimen during the split specimen testing. At the District’s discretion, the employee may be reassigned to home while awaiting the results of the split specimen. If assigned to home pending the results of the split sample test, the employee may utilize any accrued and unused sick and/or personal leave available to them. In the event the split sample test fails to confirm the presence of a controlled substance, any such leave time expended while assigned to home shall be restored to the employee, unless the lab finds evidence of an adulterant in the specimen during the split sample testing.
