Common use of Testing Procedure Clause in Contracts

Testing Procedure.

The testing or processing phase shall consist of a two-step procedure. (i) Initial screening step, and (ii) Confirmation step. The urine sample is first tested using a screening procedure (EMIT or an equivalent test). For a specimen testing positive, a confirmatory test employing the gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) test (or an equivalent test) will be used. An initial positive report will not be considered positive, rather it will be classified as confirmation pending. Where a positive report is received, urine specimens shall be maintained under secured storage for a period of not less than one (1) year. Any sample which has been adulterated or is shown to be a substance other than urine shall be reported as such. All test results shall be evaluated by suitable trained medical or scientific personnel prior to being reported. All unconfirmed positive test records shall be destroyed by the laboratory. Test results shall be treated with the same confidentiality as other employee medical records. Test results used as evidence for disciplinary action shall also be entitled to the same confidentiality. An employee who tests positive for drugs and or alcohol will be given the opportunity to review the tests and, if desired, a reasonable opportunity to rebut the results. Where urine samples have been taken, the two (2) samples will be preserved for a reasonable period of time and tested employees will have the opportunity to take one of these samples to a reputable physician or laboratory of their choosing for retesting.
