Reasonable Suspension Testing Sample Clauses

Reasonable Suspension Testing. Bargaining Unit Members who perform safety-sensitive functions will be required to submit to a drug or alcohol test when the City has a reasonable suspicion that the Bargaining Unit Member has used a prohibited drug or misused alcohol. Reasonable suspicion is established if a supervisor trained in detecting the signs of alcohol misuse and drug use reasonably concludes, based on his/her observation, and in consultation with another trained personnel that the Bargaining Unit Member has used drugs or ingested alcohol. The determination that reasonable suspicion to test exists shall be based on specific, contemporaneous, articulable observations concerning the appearance, behavior, speech or body odors of the Bargaining Unit Member. The City will direct a Bargaining Unit Member to undergo reasonable suspicion testing for alcohol only if such observations are made while the Bargaining Unit Member is performing safety-sensitive functions or just before or just after the Bargaining Unit Member performs such functions. If an alcohol test is not administered within 2 hours following a determination that a reasonable suspicion to test exists, the City shall prepare and maintain on file a record stating the reasons the alcohol test was not administered. Additionally, a reasonable suspicion test for alcohol must be performed within 8 hours following a determination that reasonable suspicion to test exists. If a reasonable suspicion test is not performed within two hours after such a determination, the City will prepare and maintain a record stating the reasons the test was not promptly administered. A written record of the observations leading to a controlled substance reasonable suspicion test shall be made and signed by the supervisor or company official within 24 hours of the observation, or before the test results are released, whichever is earlier.
