Common use of Alcohol Testing Procedures Clause in Contracts

Alcohol Testing Procedures. Employees subject to alcohol testing shall be sent or driven to a City-designated clinic and directed to provide breath specimens in a private setting. Specimens shall be collected by trained technicians, using testing devices approved for evidential breath testing by the federal government, which are regularly calibrated and capable of producing printed results that identify the Employee. The technician shall first conduct a screening test. If the screen test results are less than .02, then the Employee will be treated as passing the alcohol test. If the screen tests results in an alcohol concentration of at least .02, the technician shall instruct the Employee not to belch or put anything in his or her mouth and conduct another confirmation test, 15-30 minutes later. If the confirmation test results in an alcohol concentration of less than .02, the Employee shall be treated as passing the test. If the confirmation test results in an alcohol concentration of .02 or more, the employee shall be subject to the consequences described later in this Article.
