employee involved in the accident shall ensure that a drug test is performed as soon as possible but no later than 32 hours after the accident. Post-accident testing may involve breath, blood, and urine. Should evidence of alcohol be present, i.e., an odor of alcohol, open containers, or a statement from witness confirming alcohol consumption, the management representative must ensure testing is completed as soon as emergency medical care has been provided. The following are examples of conditions that require accident related testing: (1) City employee operating a vehicle while on city business (either a city-owned or personal vehicle) and involved in an accident that results in a citation for a moving violation. (2) An accident involving property damage (city or private) estimated to be greater than $1,000. (3) An accident involving death. (4) An accident involving injury requiring treatment at an off site (away from the scene of the accident) medical facility other than occupational health services. If the injury is of such character as would have been treated at occupational health services, but for the unavailability of occupational health services, Management may waive this requirement. "Unavailability" means occurring at a time other than the hours of operation of occupational health services or at such distance from occupational health services as to render their use impractical. C. Random Testing 1. Random drug testing will be performed utilizing urine and may be performed in the future utilizing breath or other reliable mechanisms (see VIII, K). 2. Employees in safety sensitive position, including employees whose positions with the City require them to have a commercial drivers license, will be required to submit to drug testing on a random basis. A list of those job classifications determined to be safety sensitive will be compiled and kept on file in the Human Resources Department. Such list will be periodically updated. 3. For purposes of selection for testing, employees shall be identified by Social Security Numbers and the selection of employees will be conducted through the use of a random number generator or other neutral selection process. 4. Upon notification by management representatives that a drug test is required, the employee will report to the test site as designated by management, but in no event, later than 24 hours after notification, and provide a specimen of his/her urine. If chemical breath testing, or other reliable mechanisms, for alcohol testing are used, the test may be conducted immediately at the work site or later at the collection site. 5. Random testing shall be at an annual rate of between twenty-five percent (25%) to fifty percent (50%) of the average number of positions for which testing is required.
