Testing Guidelines. The implementation of employee drug testing will ultimately result in administrative review and disciplinary action involving employees who test positive in the final confirmatory test. The City Drug Program will apply when determining the disciplinary action to be taken.
Testing Guidelines. 1. It is, therefore, agreed that the District may institute drug and alcohol testing under the following guidelines:
Testing Guidelines. Urine samples will be obtained for laboratory analysis for the purpose of determining levels of tested-for substances for all candidates for employment, reasonable cause, and/or from employees on a post-accident basis. The Township is responsible for collecting urine samples and the laboratory responsible for urinalysis are certified by the National Institute of Drug Abuse ("NIDA") pursuant to Department of Transportation guidelines and adhere to NIDA guidelines in administration and analysis of all tests. Specimens shall be tested for (1) marijuana, (2) cocaine, (3) opiates, (4) phencyclidine (PCP), (5) amphetamines, (6) alcohol and such other substances as may be required by law and any other substance now or hereafter classified as a Schedule I or II controlled substance by the provisions of 21 U.S.C. 812 or the Regulations of the Drug Enforcement Administration a 21 C.F.R. 1308.11. No laboratory result will be reported as positive nor will related personnel action result unless the laboratory report reflects the application of a confirmatory assay method (e.g., gas chromatography/mass spectrometry). An employee shall be deemed to have a positive test result when the testing procedure complied with the requirements of the DOT Regulations, i.e., collection and chain of custody, and this agreement and the test result showed the presence of a prohibited drug, prohibited drug metabolite or alcohol at a level equal to or above the cut-off level prescribed therein (e.g., a 50 mg/ml cut-off level for marijuana metabolites on the initial screen, 15 mg/ml on the confirmatory test and a .04% cut-off for alcohol). A candidate or employee who has provided a urine sample or breathalyzer test that is confirmed positive will be contacted by the Township Medical Review Officer ("MRO") who will discuss the results of the test to determine the individual's explanation for the result. If the MRO is unable to contact the employee after reasonable efforts, the MRO may contact Township and inform them to contact the individual and tell him/her to contact the MRO. If the individual refuses to talk to the MRO or does not contact the MRO within five days after being notified to do so, the MRO will report the test as positive to Township. The individual will not be hired or, if an employee, permitted to drive a Township vehicle until he/she has contacted the MRO. Failure to submit to a drug and alcohol test properly required under the circumstances set forth above is a disciplin...
Testing Guidelines. The specific instructions for testing the energy efficiency of imaging equipment products are outlined in three separate sections below entitled: — Typical Electricity Consumption Test Procedure; — Operational Mode Test Procedure; and — Test Conditions and Equipment for ENERGY STaR Imaging Equipment Products. The test results produced by these procedures shall be used as the primary basis for determining ENERGY STaR qualification. Manufacturers are required to perform tests and self-certify those product models that meet the Energy Star guide- lines. Families of imaging equipment models that are built on the same chassis and are identical in every respect except for housing and colour may be qualified through submission of test data for a single, representative model. Likewise, models that are unchanged or that differ only in finish from those sold in a previous year may remain qualified without the submission of new test data, assuming the specification remains unchanged. If a product model is offered in the market in multiple configurations as a product ‘family’ or series, the partner may test and report the highest configuration available in the family, rather than each and every individual model. When submitting model families, manufacturers continue to be held accountable for any efficiency claims made about their imaging products, including those not tested or for which data was not reported. Example: Models a and B are identical, with the exception that model a is shipped with a wired interface > 500 MHz, and model B is shipped with a wired interface < 500 MHz. If model a is tested and meets the ENERGY STaR specification, then the partner may report the test data solely for model a, to represent both models a and B. If a product’s electrical power comes from Mains, USB, IEEE1394, Power-over-Ethernet, telephone system, or any other means or combinations of means, the net aC electrical power consumed by the product (taking into account ac-to-dc conversion losses, as specified in the OM test procedure) must be used for qualification.
Testing Guidelines. If the alcohol test is not administered within two (2) hours of the accident, the City will follow the requirements of 49 CFR 382. If the drug test is not administered within thirty-two (32) hours or the alcohol test within eight (8) hours of the accident, the City will cease attempts to administer the test and follow the requirements of 49 CPR 382. It is the responsibility of any covered employee who is subject to post-accident testing to remain readily available for such testing. If the covered employee is not readily available, he/she will be deemed by the City to have refused to submit to testing. This provision shall not be construed to require the delay of necessary medical attention for injured people, to prohibit the employee from leaving the scene of an accident to obtain assistance in responding to the accident, or to obtain necessary emergency medical care. Upon conclusion of the specimen collection, the City, with the employee, will make arrangements for the employee’s transportation home and if necessary, pay for transportation. Under no circumstances will the employee be permitted to operate a motor vehicle for the trip home.
Testing Guidelines. All drug testing will be conducted in accordance with procedures espoused by the U.S. Department of Transportation (“DOT”) as outlined in the Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs” as set forth by federal regulations at Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulation (49 CFR Part 40) as amended from time to time except as expressly modified by this Agreement. The testing laboratory will be licensed or certified by the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) or any designee of the Secretary of HHS. Effective August 31, 2009 non-DOT drug testing pursuant to this Program shall not require direct observation of collections for return to work and/or follow up tests as required by the Procedures for Transportation work place Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs, specifically 49 CFR 40.67(b).
Testing Guidelines. Employee or job applicant will be tested for drugs and/or alcohol under the following circumstances: Any accident which was caused or contributed to by the employee or accident causing property damage of more than $250. Any testing requirement of the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Federal Motor Carrier regulations covering holders of Commercial Driver’s License. Whenever an employee is involved in a vehicular accident while on company business. Arrest for off-the-job illegal drug or alcohol activity. All applicants for employment. Any applicant with a confirmed positive test result will be denied employment. Unannounced Random Testing In situations where the employee’s behavior establishes a reasonable suspicion that he or she may be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. For cause. DRUG TESTING PROCEDURE Upon request, the employee or job applicant will be asked to submit to drug screening and/or alcohol testing at an approved facility. Picture identification must be presented at testing facility. Substance abuse testing will include a screen for the following drugs: alcohol: (not required for job applicants) Any “Alcoholic Beverage”, all liquid medications containing ethyl alcohol (ethanol). Please read label for content. For example: Vicks Nyquil is 25% (50 proof) ethyl alcohol, Comtrex is 20% (40 proof), Contac Severe Cold Formula Night Strength is 25% (50 proof), and Listerine is 26.9% (54 proof) amphetamines: “speed”, “uppers”, “meth” etc. cannabinoids: THC, marijuana, hashish, “pot”, “grass”, “hash”, etc. cocaine: “coke”, “crack”, etc. Phencyclidine: PCP, “angel dust”. opiates: narcotics, heroin, codeine, morphine, “smack”, “dope”, etc. Additional substance abuse testing will include a screen for the following drugs (non DOT only): Benzodiazapines: “downers”, sleeping pills, etc. Propoxyphene: Darvon, Darvocet, etc. Methaqualone: Quaaludes, “Jeckyl and Hyde Drug”, Methadone: Dolophine, “fizzies”, “dollies’.
Testing Guidelines. The Company shall conduct drug/alcohol testing only through a professional service company or medical clinic licensed to collect samples and/or conduct drug tests pursuant to US Department of Transportation regulations. These procedures include split-sampling which provides that a urine sample be split into two separate containers. The substance screen will test for the following drugs - marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines and phencyclidine (PCP). The substance screening levels will conform with those used by the Department of Transportation. The substance screen will be confirmed by a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) test. The confirmation limits for controlled substances are expressed in terms of nanograms per milliliter of urine and are as follows: Marijuana 15 ng/ml Cocaine 150 ng/ml Opiates 300 ng/ml Phencyclidine 25 ng/ml Amphetamines 500 ng/ml Alcohol testing will be conducted by a certified Breath Alcohol Technician (BAT). The limits for alcohol are expressed in a volume of breath as indicated by an evidential breath test (EBT) and are as follows:
Testing Guidelines. 28 The City will contract with a third-party vendor or vendors to provide collection services, 29 laboratory testing, and medical review of the test results. The vendor or vendors will utilize only 30 laboratories that are federally certified to do drug testing. Personnel employed by the lab shall be 31 certified as required by federal certification requirements. The facility testing breath samples and 32 collecting specimens shall hold all legally necessary licenses and shall be conducted in a manner 33 that is consistent with federal guidelines. The City and vendor(s) will follow the rules and 34 regulations set forth by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 35 (SAMHSA), a federal department of Health and Human Services (HHS), to conduct alcohol and 36 drug testing. The drug testing cut-off levels will be consistent with standards set by federal 37 guidelines, unless otherwise specified by a collective bargaining agreement. 39 The results of any drug or alcohol test will constitute medical information and will remain 40 confidential except for its use in official safety investigations or any action necessary to defend 41 the discharge or other discipline of the employee. 43 The employee will be provided with a copy of the test results. 44 45
