72 <br /> <br />City of Little Canada Personnel Policy <br />after testing positive for cannabis while at work. <br /> <br />Controlled Substance Testing <br /> <br />No driver may report for duty, remain on-duty or perform a safety-sensitive function if the driver tests <br />positive for controlled substance. <br /> <br />In addition to the conduct prohibited by applicable DOT and FMCSA regulations, the City also <br />maintains other applicable policies regarding drug and alcohol that are applicable to all employees. For <br />specifics regarding those requirements, refer to the City’s Alcohol and Psychoactive Drug policy. <br /> <br />Collection and Testing Procedures <br /> <br />Drivers are required to report immediately upon notification to the collection site. For random tests <br />conducted off site, employees may use a cityCity vehicle to drive to the collection site. Drivers will be <br />expected to provide a photo ID card for identification to the collection staff. All drivers will be <br />expected to cooperate with collection site personnel request to remove any unnecessary outer garments <br />such as coats, sweaters or jackets and will be required to empty their pockets. Collection personnel will <br />complete a Federal Custody and Control Form (“CCF”) which drivers providing a sample will sign as <br />well. <br /> <br />Alcohol Testing <br /> <br />Employees will be tested for alcohol just before, during, or immediately following performance of a <br />safety-sensitive function. If a driver is also taking a DOT controlled substance test, generally speaking, <br />the alcohol test is completed before the urine collection process begins. Screening tests for alcohol <br />concentration will be performed utilizing a non-evidential screening device included by the National <br />Highway Traffic Safety Administration on its conforming products list (e.g., a saliva screening device) <br />or an evidential breath testing device (“EBT”) operated by a trained breath alcohol technician (“BAT”) <br />at a collection site. An alcohol test usually takes approximately 15 minutes if the result is negative. If a <br />driver’s first attempt is positive (with an alcohol concentration of .02 or greater), the driver will be <br />asked to wait at least 15 minutes and then be tested again. The driver may not eat, drink or place <br />anything in his/her mouth (e.g., cigarette, chewing gum) during this time. All confirmation tests will be <br />conducted in a location that affords privacy to the driver being tested, unless unusual circumstances <br />(e.g., when it is essential to conduct a test outdoors at the scene of an accident) make it impracticable <br />to provide such privacy. Any results less than 0.02 alcohol concentration is considered a “negative” <br />test result. <br /> <br />If the driver attempts and fails to provide an adequate amount of breath, he/she will be referred to a <br />physician to determine if the driver’s inability to provide a specimen is genuine or constitutes a refusal <br />to test. Alcohol test results are reported directly to the cityCity by the collection site staff. <br /> <br />Controlled Substance Testing <br /> <br />The cityCity will use a “split urine specimen” collection procedure for controlled substance testing. <br />Collection of urine specimens for controlled substance testing will be conducted by an approved <br />collector and will be conducted in a setting and manner to ensure the driver’s privacy. <br /> <br />Controlled substance testing generally takes about 15 minutes. At the collection site, the driver will be
