Common use of Procedures to be used when the Clause in Contracts

Procedures to be used when the. sample is given. The following procedures shall be used whenever an employee is requested to give a blood or urine sample. Normally, the sample will be taken at the laboratory. If taken at another location, transportation procedures as identified shall be followed. All sample taking will be done under laboratory conditions and standards as provided by the selected laboratory: 1. Prior to testing, or if incapacitated as soon as possible afterwards, the employee will be required to list all drugs currently being used by the employee on a form to be supplied by the Port. The Employer may require the employee to provide evidence that a prescription medication has been lawfully prescribed by a physician. If an employee is taking a prescription or non-prescription medication in the appropriate described manner and has noted such use, as provided above, he/she will not be disciplined. Medications prescribed for another individual, not the employee, shall be considered to be illegally used and subject the employee to discipline. 2. When a blood test is required, the blood sample shall be taken promptly with as little delay as possible. Immediately after the samples are drawn, the individual test tubes shall, in the presence of the employee, be sealed, labeled and then initialed by the employee. The employee has an obligation to identify each sample and initial same. If the sample is taken at a location other than the testing laboratory, it shall be placed in a transportation container after being drawn. The sample shall be sealed in the employee's presence and the employee given an opportunity to initial or sign the container. The container shall be stored in a secure and refrigerated atmosphere, and shall be delivered to the laboratory that day or the soonest normal business day by the fastest available method. 3. In testing blood samples, the testing laboratory will analyze blood/serum by using GC/MS as appropriate. Where Schedule I and II drugs in blood are detected, the laboratory is to report a positive test based on a forensically acceptable positive quantum of proof. All positive test results must be reviewed by the certifying scientist or laboratory director and certified as accurate. 4. When a urine sample will be given by the employee, the employee shall be entitled, upon request, to give the sample in privacy. In most cases, this process will take place at laboratory. The sample container shall remain in full view of the employee until transferred to, and sealed and initialed in the two (2) tamper resistant containers and transportation pouch. 5. Immediately after the sample has been given, it will be divided into two

In testing blood samples, the testing laboratory will analyze blood/serum by using GCgas chromatography/MS mass spectrometry as appropriate. Where Schedule I and II drugs in blood are detected, the laboratory is to report a positive test based on a forensically acceptable positive quantum of proof.

Immediately after the sample has been given, it will be divided into twotwo (2) equal parts. Each of the two (2) portions of the sample will be 6. The sample will first be tested using the screening procedure set forth in Section (D) (3) of this appendix. If the sample tests are positive for any prohibited drug, the confirmatory test specified in Section (D) (4) of the appendix will be employed. 7. If the confirmatory test is positive for the presence of an illegal drug, the employee will be notified of the positive results within twenty-four (24) hours after the Port learns of the results, and will be provided with copies of all documents pertinent to the test sent to or from the Port by the laboratory. The employee will then have the option of submitting the untested sample to a laboratory of mutual choice, at the Port's expense. 8. Each step in the collecting and processing of the urine samples shall be documented to establish procedural integrity and a chain of evidence. All samples deemed "positive" by the laboratory, according to the prescribed guidelines, must be retained, for identification purposes, at the laboratory for a period of six (6) months.
