Procedures and Safeguards for Drug Tests Sample Clauses

Procedures and Safeguards for Drug Tests. 1. The drug testing shall only take place at a laboratory, physician’s office, or collection facility, appropriately certified to provide urinalysis collecting, and said facility shall have in place written procedures ensuring the reliability of the samples taken, the prevention of tampering with said samples, and adequate protection of privacy which shall include the individual’s right to provide the sample in a private but secure environment. The drug testing screen shall be limited to those drugs made unlawful by M.G.L. c.94C. 2. In all cases of drug testing, the testing facility shall split the sample taken into two, with one such sample being properly preserved, should a question as to the reliability of said drug test occur. In the event of a positive test, as set forth herein, the individual and/or the Union may have the preserved sample tested by an independent laboratory of their choice. 3. All urinalysis testing shall be performed at a laboratory that has been certified by either a state or federal agency to provide such urinalysis testing. In the event the initial urinalysis test is positive, a second method of testing shall be immediately administered. This second test shall employ a methodology different from the first and the second test shall be equal to the reliability of (GC-MS) Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrophotometry or greater. 4. In the event that both urine samples are positive, and if independent testing of the same sample, if employed by the employee or the Union, is not negative, then the employee will be (in the first instance) relieved of duty with vacation, sick pay, and/or other compensable leave, to the extent available, or on leave without pay if not, pending completion of an employer and Union approved drug rehabilitation program (which may be inpatient or outpatient, including but not limited to counseling).
