*City of Mounds View* DOT Drug -Free Workplace Policy 2020 Version 6 ⇒ Providing the company with information regarding whether they have tested positive or refused to test on any DOT required pre-employment drug or alcohol test in which the applicant applied for, but did not obtain a safety-sensitive position in the preceding two (2) years; ⇒ Passing DOT-required physical exam required for driver positions; ⇒ Complying with any other conditions or requirements of which the Company advises the applicant at the time of the offer. Pursuant to DOT regulations, the Company must make a “good faith effort” to obtain a driver’s previous testing information from the driver’s prior DOT-regulated employers, and such prior employers are required to provide the previous testing information to the Company. This information should be obtained before the driver first performs safety-sensitive functions, unless this is not feasible, in which case the information should be obtained as soon as possible. In any event, a driver will not be allowed to perform a safety-sensitive function after 30 days from the date he or she first performed a safety- sensitive function, unless the Company has obtained or made and documented a good faith effort to obtain the previous testing information.

POST-ACCIDENT A driver who is performing a safety-sensitive f unction must submit to a post-accident drug and alcohol test as soon as possible after any occurrence that meets the description of a “DOT Accident.” For purposes of this Policy and the Company’s drug and alcohol testing program, a “DOT Accident” is defined as an occurrence involving a commercial motor vehicle operating on a public road in commerce which results in: ⇒ A loss of human life; or ⇒ The driver receiving a citation under state or local law for a moving traffic violation arising from the accident if the accident involved: 1.
