Common use of Testing Safeguards Clause in Contracts

Testing Safeguards. All testing will be conducted at a laboratory certified by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) in accordance with the standards disseminated by the US Department of Transportation (DOT) (49 CFR Part 40). All drug tests will be conducted through collection of a split sample. Urine specimens less than 45 mL in volume will be discarded by the collection facility. In such cases, the employee will be advised to drink up to forty (40) ounces of fluids and will have up to three (3) hours to produce a urine sample of adequate volume. Employees who do not provide a urine specimen of adequate volume within three (3) hours will be referred to a physician to determine whether there was a legitimate medical explanation for the apparent inability to provide a specimen, or the incident constitutes a refusal to test. If a urine specimen shows a temperature outside the acceptable range (colder than 90 degrees or warmer than 100 degrees) or appears to have been adulterated, the collection facility will make a note on the custody and control form and notify the employee that he/she will need to provide a second urine specimen. In the case of DOT covered employees, the second collection must be conducted under direct observation. Any employee being instructed to provide a second urine specimen must remain at the collection facility until a new urine specimen is provided, or the incident will be considered a refusal to test. All positive drug tests will be confirmed by a second confirming test from the same sample before the test result is reported as positive to the MRO. Individuals with positive tests will have an opportunity to discuss the results with the MRO before the result is reported to the City. Drug and alcohol test results will be reported to the Human Resources Department and the Department Director. Any employee who tests positive for drugs may request a test of the remaining portion of the urine sample (the split sample) within seventy-two (72) hours of notification of a positive test result. CDL drivers must direct requests to the MRO. All other requests for tests must be made to the Human Resources Department. The cost of split sample/retesting will be borne by the employee. In the event the split test result is negative, the employee shall be reimbursed for the cost of the split test.
