The employer may use the results of blood, urine, or breath tests for the use of determining prohibited drugs or the misuse of alcohol, conducted by Federal, State, or local officials having independent authority for the tests. Such tests may be used only when the employer is unable to perform a post-accident test within the required time period. Management may decide to relieve an employee from safety-sensitive duty with pay pending the results of the post-accident test. Management must notify Human Resources as soon as possible that the employee was relieved pending the post-accident test results. Human Resources will then notify management when the results are received in order to minimize impact in operations. Random Testing Requires: ➢ DOT drug and alcohol tests. • FTA Random Drug and Alcohol Notification Form. The City is required to randomly test covered employees at the minimum annual rate set by the FTA Administrator. The selection of employees for random alcohol testing and prohibited drug testing shall be made by a scientifically valid method, such as random number table or a computer based random number generator that is matched with the employees' Social Security numbers, payroll identification numbers, or other comparable identifying numbers. Under the selection process used, each covered employee shall have an equal chance of being tested each time selections are made. The employer shall randomly select a sufficient number of covered employees for testing during each calendar year to equal an annual rate not less than the minimum annual percentage rate for random alcohol and prohibited drug testing determined by the Administrator. The employer shall ensure that random tests are unannounced and unpredictable, and that the dates for administering random tests are spread reasonably throughout the calendar year. Random testing must be conducted at all times of day when safety-sensitive functions are performed. Once notified of selection for random testing, a covered employee must proceed to the test site immediately. If the employee is performing a safety-sensitive function at the time of the notification, the employer shall instead ensure that the employee ceases to perform the safety- sensitive function and proceeds to the testing site immediately. Covered employees not available on the day of their selection will be tested on the first day back to work unless the covered employee is on a long-term absence. Reasonable Suspicion Testing Requires: • DOT drug and alcohol test. ➢ Reasonable Suspicion Checklist completed by the supervisor making the determination to send the employee for testing.
