These levels will be used to interpret all drug screens/tests, whether for pre-employment examination, reasonable suspicion test, post-accident test, follow up test or random test. Breath alcohol testing will be conducted by a testing contractor that uses only certified equipment and personnel. Breath alcohol concentrations exceeding .02 will be considered a verified positive. In the event of an accident where an employee has a “whole blood” alcohol drawn at a medical facility, a result equal to or greater than .02 shall be considered to be a verified positive result. An Evidentiary Breath Test (EBT) is used to confirm any initial positive test result.
