Post-Accident Drug and Alcohol Testing. All safety-sensitive employees involved in an accident or incident shall undergo DOT NIDA-5 drug testing and a DOT breath alcohol test if: • The accident or incident results in a fatality • The accident or incident results in any injury that must be immediately treated away from the scene of the accident or incident • The accident or incident results in any vehicle being transported away from the scene of the accident or incident by a tow truck or other vehicle due to disabling damage In the case of all other accidents covered by this policy (i.e., those not involving a fatality), each safety- sensitive employee operating the Pace vehicle at the time of the accident will be tested unless management determines, using the best information available at the time of the decision, that the safety-sensitive employee’s performance can be completely discounted as a contributing factor to the accident. Additionally, any other safety-sensitive employees whose performances could have contributed to the accident, as determined by management using the best information available at the time of the accident, will be tested. If safety-sensitive employees must be tested for drugs and alcohol, they may not operate, dispatch, or perform maintenance on any vehicle in contractor service until the results of the drug/alcohol test are received. Refusal to sign the necessary forms for drug/alcohol testing or refusal to be tested will result in the employee being prohibited from performing safety-sensitive functions. Note: The employee must be accompanied to the testing facility by a supervisor, trainer, or other staff person. All safety-sensitive employees are required to submit to random DOT NIDA-5 drug testing and DOT breath alcohol testing. Contractors are to ensure that at least fifty (50) percent of the total number of safety- sensitive employees are randomly selected for drug testing and ten (10) percent are randomly selected for alcohol testing each year. In conducting these tests, the method for random selection must be unannounced, as well as random. For contractors participating in Pace’s random drug and alcohol testing pool, the above percentages do not apply. The designated contact person will be notified when safety-sensitive employees have been selected for random testing.
