Specimen Testing Procedures. The Employer agrees to implement a "Specimen Testing Checklist". The checklist, approved by the UPSF/Union UPSF Safety and Health Committee, is to be used with the affected employees at the testing site by the person performing the testing for the Employer. The checklist is to be used at all locations, but it is understood that failure to use or the refusal to use the checklist does not invalidate a properly conducted alcohol testing procedure. Nor does it prohibit an employee's recourse to the collective bargaining agreement and/or the grievance procedure. Procedures for alcohol testing will follow Department of Transportation guidelines to ensure an individual's privacy. No unauthorized personnel will be allowed in any area of the testing site. Only one (1) alcohol testing procedure will be conducted at a time. The employee will provide his/her specimen in a location that allows for privacy. The Employer agrees to recognize all employees’ rights to privacy while being subjected to the testing process at all times and at all testing sites. Further the Employer agrees that in all circumstances the employee's dignity will be considered and all necessary steps will be taken to insure that the entire process does nothing to demean, embarrass or offend the employees unnecessarily. Testing will be under the direct observation of a BAT. All procedures shall be conducted in a professional, discreet and objective manner. Direct observation will be necessary in all cases. The employee shall provide an adequate amount of breath for the EBT device. If the individual is unable to provide a sufficient amount of breath, the BAT shall direct the individual to again attempt to provide a complete sample. If the employee fails for any reason to provide the requisite amount of breath, the BAT shall contact the District Safety and Health manager or Human Resources manager. If an employee is unsuccessful in providing the requisite amount of breath, the Employer then must have the employee obtain, within five (5) business days, an evaluation from a licensed physician chosen by the Employer who has the expertise in the medical issues concerning the employee's medical ability to provide an adequate amount of breath. If the physician determines that a medical condition has, or with a high degree of probability, could have precluded the employee from providing an adequate amount of breath, the employee's failure to provide an adequate amount of breath will not be deemed a refusal t...
