Follow-up Testing After Return to Duty <br /> Requires: <br /> ➢ DOT drug and alcohol tests. <br /> • FTA Random Drug and Alcohol Notification Form. <br /> Covered employees that have passed a return to duty test will be subject to unannounced <br /> follow-up testing for at least twelve (12) but not more than sixty (60) months. The duration of <br /> the follow-up testing will be recommended by the Substance Abuse Professional with a <br /> minimum of six (6) tests performed during the first twelve (12) months after the employee has <br /> returned to duty. <br /> See Prohibited Drug and Alcohol Testing Procedures section for new collection procedures. <br /> Employees who go on Light Duty after they have entered a follow-up program are still subject to <br /> follow-up drug and alcohol testing. <br /> Testing Protocol <br /> Covered employees are subject to City fitness for duty examinations if unable to provide a <br /> sufficient amount of breath or urine for a required DOT test, and the MRO determines there is a <br /> valid medical condition. Fitness for duty examinations will be conducted in accordance with <br /> Sunny Isles Beach Testing Protocol. <br /> Covered employees are also subject to alcohol tests and drug tests. Drug tests may also test for <br /> other drugs in addition to those required by DOT. The level at which a result from a test <br /> administered pursuant to City policy or contract language is a confirmed positive may be different <br /> than the level for tests conducted pursuant to federal regulations. City administered drug and <br /> alcohol tests will be conducted in accordance with City Testing Protocol. <br /> Consequences <br /> Refusal to Test Violations <br /> The following behaviors displayed, but not limited to, by covered employees or applicants during <br /> drug or alcohol testing shall constitute a refusal to test: <br /> • Failure to appear for any test within a reasonable time, as determined by the employer, <br /> after being directed to do so by the employer; <br /> • Failure to remain at the testing site until the testing process is complete; <br /> • Failure to provide a urine specimen, breath or saliva sample for any drug and alcohol <br /> test required by DOT or FTA regulations; <br /> • Failure to permit a direct observation or monitoring of your provision of a specimen; <br /> (Reso)Sib Drug-Free Workplace Program-Rev 01182018 Page 32 of41 1/18/2018 <br />
