Testing Procedures. Testing will be conducted by an outside certified Agency in such a way to ensure maximum accuracy and reliability by using the techniques, chain of custody procedures, equipment and laboratory facilities which have been approved by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. All employees notified of a positive controlled substance or alcohol test result may request an independent test of their split sample at the employee’s expense. If the test result is negative the Employer will reimburse the employee for the cost of the split sample test.
Testing Procedures. All tests for alcohol or controlled substances must comply with the requirements for such tests set forth in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 40. In addition:
Testing Procedures. Shipper shall follow the meter calibrations schedule established by Gatherer for each meter on the Gathering System. Such calibrations shall occur at least once every twelve (12) months but not more frequently than once every six (6) months.

Testing Procedures. What are the testing procedures for drugs? All drug testing will be done from urine specimens collected under highly controlled conditions at the following location: St. Raphael’s Occupational Health & Rehabilitation Services at 789-3530. The person collecting the urine sample will be the same gender as the employee submitting the sample. The collection site will be secured to prevent any tampering or switching of samples. The City reserves the right to change and/or add providers. When the employee has submitted a specimen, the collection person will determine whether there is a sufficient amount of urine for testing. If there is not enough, the employee may be asked to drink fluids and wait until the employee is able to provide a sufficient amount of urine to test. The urine collected from each employee will be divided into two different sample containers. This is known as a split specimen collection. The person collecting the specimen will divide the specimen into the two containers in the presence of the employee and will label both accordingly. The employee must ensure that the split samples are both accurately marked with the correct identification. The primary sample is then tested for the presence of drugs, while the second or “split” sample is stored in a secured, refrigerated location. The initial test is the immunoassay test, which screens the sample for usage of the eleven (11) classes of drugs. The second test is a confirmation test. The labs that perform the tests must be certified by the Federal Department of Health & Human Services. The testing program is limited to eleven (11) drug/drug types: Amphetamines, Barbiturates, Benzodiazepines, Cocaine Metabolite, Opiates, Oxycodone, Phencyclidine (PCP), Marijuana (THC) Metabolite, Methadone, Methaqualone, and Propoxyphene. The positive levels for the eleven (11) classes of drug tests are in the table below: Initial Test Analyte Initial Test Cutoff Concentration Confirmatory Test Analyte Confirmatory Test Cutoff Concentration Amphetamines 300 ng/mL 500 ng/mL Barbiturates 300 ng/mL 300 ng/mL Benzodiazepines 300 ng/mL 300 ng/mL Cocaine Metabolites 300 ng/mL Benzoylecgonine 150 ng/mL Opiate Metabolites 2000 ng/mL 2000 ng/mL Oxycodone 100 ng/mL 100 ng/mL Phencyclidine 25 ng/mL Phencyclidine 25 ng/mL Marijuana Metabolites 50 ng/mL THCA 15 ng/mL Methadone 300 ng/mL 300 ng/mL Methaqualone 300 ng/mL 300 ng/mL Propoxyphene 300 ng/mL 300 ng/mL *ng/ml means nanograms per milliliter.
