employees. The driver must pay for the cost of all requested confirmatory re -tests, return -to -duty, and follow-up testing. Prohibited Conduct The following conduct is explicitly prohibited by applicable DOT and FMCSA regulations and therefore constitutes violation of City policy. Under the influence of alcohol when reporting for duty or while on duty. No driver may report for duty or remain on duty requiring the performance of safety -sensitive functions while having an alcohol concentration of 0.04 or greater. Drivers reporting for duty or remaining on duty to perform safety -sensitive functions while having an alcohol concentration of 0.02, but less than 0.04, will be removed from duty for 24 hours, escorted home and placed on vacation, compensatory PTO, or another appropriate leave of absence for hours missed from work. On -Duty Use of Alcohol. No driver may use alcohol while performing safety -sensitive functions. Pre -Duty Use of Alcohol. No driver may perform safety -sensitive functions within four (4) hours after using alcohol. If an employee has had alcohol within four hours they are to notify their supervisors before performing any safety -sensitive functions. Alcohol Use Following an Accident. No driver required to take a post -accident alcohol test may use alcohol for eight (8) hours following the accident, or until the driver undergoes a post -accident alcohol test, whichever occurs first. Refusal to Submit to a Required Alcohol or Controlled Substance Test. No applicant or driver may refuse to submit to pre -employment, post -accident, random, reasonable suspicion or follow-up alcohol or controlled substance testing. In the event an applicant or driver does in fact refuse to submit to required alcohol or controlled substance testing, no test will be conducted. Refusal by a driver to submit to controlled substance or alcohol testing will be considered a positive test result, will cause disqualification from performing safety -sensitive functions, and may appear on the driver's permanent record. Drivers who refuse to submit to testing will be subject to discipline, up to and including termination. If an applicant refuses to submit to pre -employment controlled substance testing, any applicable conditional offer may be withdrawn. For purposes of this section, a driver is considered to have refused to submit to an alcohol or controlled substance test when the driver: • Fails to provide adequate breath for alcohol testing without a valid medical explanation after he or she has received notice of the requirement for breath testing. • Fails to provide adequate urine for controlled substance testing without a genuine inability to provide a specimen (as determined by a medical evaluation), after he or she has received notice of the requirement for urine testing.
