No employee or applicant will be tested as a result of <br />such a requirement unless the employee or applicant consents to work on <br />the customer assignment and consents to testing. Of course, if an individual <br />refuses to be tested, he/she will not be assigned to the customer requiring <br />such testing. <br /> <br />7. Test Results, Notification, and Individual’s Rights Following Testing: <br /> <br />a. Initial Screening Test <br /> <br />1. An initial screening test will be conducted first.

The MRO is a licensed physician responsible for receiving <br />laboratory results generated by the City’s testing program. The <br />MRO has appropriate medical training to interpret and evaluate <br />an individual’s test result. <br /> <br />a. Opportunity to Explain: <br />The employee or job applicant will be given written notice of <br />the right to explain a positive test result and the right to <br />indicate any over-the-counter or prescription medication that <br />the employee or job applicant is currently taking, or has <br />recently taken, and any other information relevant to the <br />reliability of, or explanation for, a positive test result. <br /> <br />In addition, within three (3) working days after notice of a <br />positive test result on a confirmatory test, the employee or job <br />applicant may submit any other information to the MRO to <br />explain that result. <br /> <br />b.
