T he Drug Testing Policy Sample Clauses

T he Drug Testing Policy. A. In order to maintain a safe and healthful work environment, the Employer reserves the right to set standards for employment and to require employees to submit to physical examinations including blood or urine tests for alcohol, illegal drugs or the misuse of legal drugs where there is reasonable suspicion that an employee’s work performance is, or could be, affected by the condition. Employees considered to be in safety-sensitive classifications may be subject to random drug testing. B. In a case in which an employee is acting in an abnormal manner and where the Employer has a reasonable suspicion to believe that the employee is under the influence of the substances referenced in paragraph “A” above, the Safety-Service Director will be advised in accordance with paragraph “C” below. For purposes of the above, “reasonable suspicion” means suspicion based on personal observation by an Employer representative, including but not limited to, descriptions of appearance, behavior, speech, breath, or inexplicable behavior. C. Any management Employer or representative who entertains this reasonable suspicion of substance abuse will complete a “reasonable suspicion” documentation form. Once this form has been completed and communicated to the Safety-Service Director, the Safety-Service Director may either contact the Union representative to suggest treatment, or may require the employee to go to a medical clinic, at the Employer’s expense, to provide either blood or urine specimens. D. If requested, the employee will sign a consent form authorizing the clinic to withdraw a specimen of blood or urine and to release the test results to the Employer. E. Any bargaining unit employee who has been ordered to undergo blood or urine testing may, upon timely request, be accompanied to the testing site by a xxxxxxx or co-worker, if available. Under no circumstances will a test be delayed due to the absence or tardiness of the employee’s representative or co-worker. F. A refusal to provide either blood or urine specimen will constitute insubordination and a presumption of impairment and may result in discharge. G. Any employee tested in accordance with the above procedure may, if the tests results are positive, request immediate retesting at the Employer’s expense or may request in advance of the original test that a portion of the original specimen be delivered to a third party for testing at the employee’s expense.
