Specimen Collection Procedure. Testing shall be conducted by trained personnel, who meet quality assurance and chain-of- custody requirements for urine collection and breath alcohol testing. Confidentiality is required from our labs. Any individual subject to testing under this Policy shall be permitted to provide urine specimens in private, but subject to strict scrutiny by collection personnel so as to avoid any alteration or substitution of the specimen to be provided. Breath alcohol testing will likewise be done in an area that affords the individual privacy. In all cases, there will only be one (1) individual tested at a time. Failure to appear for testing when scheduled or otherwise required shall be considered refusal to participate in testing, and will subject an employee to the range of disciplinary actions, including dismissal, and an applicant to the cancellation of an offer of employment. Further, an employee who refuses to participate in testing may be denied workers' compensation benefits to which the employee may otherwise have been entitled.

Specimen Collection Procedure. Only those collectors instructed in the proper methods of collection will conduct the specimen collections. The person conducting the collection will utilize proper chain of custody documentation provided by the laboratory. They will also ensure that the participant’s specimen is provided in a location and manner that protects his privacy, and that the specimen is properly identified, sealed, and protected against tampering. Direct observation of a participant providing a urine specimen will only be conducted when there is evidence that the participant has submitted or attempted to submit an adulterated or false specimen. Specimen collection, storage, and transportation to the laboratory will be conducted in a manner that precludes specimen contamination or adulteration.
