Common use of Drug Testing Procedure Clause in Contracts

Drug Testing Procedure. The laboratory shall commence testing of the sample within the first container only if the sample is received in an undamaged condition, properly sealed and labeled, and properly initialed by the member. The certified laboratory shall first conduct an initial screening of this sample. If illegal drugs are found in the sample, then that sample shall be submitted for confirmatory testing. The initial screening shall be accomplished by means of Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) or equally reliable testing methods, and the confirmatory test shall be accomplished by means of Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GS/MS). If as a result of the initial screening and confirmatory test, the test result is positive, the member will be contacted directly by the Medical Review Officer (M.R.O.) at the Human Factor and will be given the opportunity to explain the reasons for a positive test result. Should the member offer an explanation that in the judgment of the M.R.O. sufficiently explains the positive test result, the M.R.O. will consider the results as negative and the Employer will not be contacted. Should masking agents be found in the sample on the initial test, such shall be treated as a refusal to submit to testing and any option to pursue testing of the specimen in the second container shall be forfeited. The Employer shall be notified of such refusal to submit to testing. This refusal to submit to testing shall then subject the member to appropriate disciplinary action.
