Performance of Services
I

DOT Drug and Alcohol Testing Program

1. Random Drag and Alcohol Testing Consortium
Clarity will enroll the Village's CDL drivers in a Random Drug and Alcohol Testing
Consortium that is fully compliant with 49 CFR Part 40 regulations. All names of testing
subjects will be drawn in a scientifically valid random process. These names will be handled in
a confidential manner until the time of notification of the Designated Company Contact Person
(DCCP). After any type of testing the donor's name is re-entered in the pool for possible
subsequent selection.
2. NIDA-5 Chain-of-Custody Urine Drug Screening (SAMHSA-approved lab)
Clarity will provide all Drug Testing Services in compliance with DOT regulations as detailed
in the Code of Federal Regulations. All six (6) types of tests including:
a. Random
b. Reasonable Cause
c. Post-Accident
d. Pre-Employment
e. Follow-up
f. Return-to-Work
will be collected and a SAMHSA-certified lab will be used to analyze the specimens
(the lab charge is included in our fee proposal). Results will be given to our
Certified Medical Review Officer in an approved confidential manner and any
positive results will be verified in an appropriate interview (in person or by phone)
with the donor. After verification that no extenuating medical circumstances exist to
explain the result, a confidential report will be made to the DCCP verbally, with a
certified hard-copy tofollowwithin three (3) business days. The employee will be
referred to the DCCP for a discussion of Town Policy and SAP/EAP referral, if
applicable.
a. Random: Clarity will draw names from the Consortiums's random pool and will then
notify the DCCP. These names must remain confidential until the actual time of
collection at which time, the chosen employees will be identified and either escorted to
the Clarity's Labmobile or directed to a Collection Site.
b. Reasonable Cause: These tests will be scheduled on an as-caUed-for basis
After a trained supervisor identifies a potentially impaired employee. In most cases
these tests will be done at one of our conveniently located affiliated collection sites.
Availability of these tests will be on a 24-hour/l day basis with contact to our
coordinator by a designated phone and pager system.

c. Post-Accident: In most cases these tests will be done in the same manner as Reasonable
Cause Testing as to adhere to the two (2) hour time frame mandated by the DOT. Clarity
does offer on-site and after hours testing through its ownfleetof Labmobiles or a
contracted third party.
d. Pre-Employment: Depending on whether these tests will be done with the
initial DOT Physical, they can be done with a random group on-site or at a conveniently
located affiliated collection site.
e. Return-to-Work (if applicable): These tests will be done after a positive result and die
initiation of the SAP treatment recommendations. No employee can resume work
activities until they are documented "drugfree"with this test, which would usually be
done at our offices or at a collection site.
f. Follow-Up Tests (if applicable): These will be done randomly over the course of a timeframe determined by the SAP, with afrequencyand number, also to be determined by
the SAP, after a treated employee returns to safety-sensitive duties.

3. EBT-Breath Alcohol Testing by Certified Testers (BAT)
Clarity will test the appropriate number of randomly selected employees for the current DOTFMCSA criteria (minimum of 10% of total consortium enrollment). All tests will be done by
certified Breath Alcohol Technicians (BATS) on a testing device (EBT) approved by DOT and
calibrated and maintained to DOT specifications. Initial positive tests will be confirmed with a
second test, using DOT guidelines. If the test is confirmed as positive, the DCCP will be notified
and the employee will be referred to the SAP for treatment recommendations.
4. Medical Review Officer (MRO) Services
All DOT drug testing done by Clarity is verified by a certified MRO and, only after verification, are
results reported to the DCCP. Clarity utilizes only Certified MRO'sforthe verification process.
Our Medical Director, Jeffrey Althok, M.D., is both a Board Certified Internist and a Certified
MRO. As members of both the American Association of Medical Review Officers and the Drug
and Alcohol Testing Industry Association, we are constantly abreast of regulatory, forensic, and
legislative changes in the Drug and Alcohol Testing field.

MEMORANDUM
PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL
ATTORNEY-CLIENT COMMUNICATION

TO:

Dwight Douglas
Village Administrator

FROM:

Craig Olivo
John Ho

DATE:

November 1,2005

RE:

United States Department of Transportation
Drug and Alcohol Testing

I

Pursuant to your request, this memorandum outlines the general responsibilities of the
Village under the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991 (the "Act"). The Act
requires alcohol and drug testing of safety-sensitive employees in the aviation, motor carrier,
railroad and mass transit industries. Please note that the Act contains detailed procedures
governing alcohol and drug testing. This memorandum only summarizes the highlights of the
law.
In addition, this memorandum addresses the Federal Highway Administration ("FHWA")
regulations which cover the motor carrier industry. The FHWA has issued an alcohol and
controlled substances rule requiring alcohol and drug testing of drivers who are required to have
a commercial driver's license. Pursuant to these rules, an employer must conduct the required

I

drug and alcohol testing on any employee (or contractor) that operates a commercial motor
vehicle in interstate or intrastate commerce that is required to have a CDL. Accordingly, these
regulations apply to such Village employees or contractors.

4496.1 im/2005

!

�3^V

Although employers are responsible for implementing and conducting testing programs,
they may do this using their own employees, third party administrators or service agents, or by
joining together in a consortium that provides services to all member employers.
As specified by the United States Department of Transportation ("DOT"), an employer is
required to test for alcohol and the following five drugs: marijuana; cocaine; opiates;
amphetamines; and phencyclidine (PCP).
Moreover, the DOT drug and alcohol testing rules require the following tests: preemployment; post accident; random testing; reasonable suspicion; retum-to-duty, and follow-up
(if applicable). A brief description of these tests follows.
Pre-Emplovment
An employer must require a driver applicant it intends to hire or use to be tested for drug
use as a pre-qualification condition. The employer may not use the driver until a verified
negative drug test result is obtained. In addition, an employer must ensure that no prior
employer has records of a violation of the drug use or alcohol misuse rules within the previous 6
months.
Pre-employment testing is not required under the regulation if a driver applicant has
participated in a drug testing program within the previous 30 days and was either tested for drugs
within the past 6 months or participated in a random drug testing program for the previous 12
months.
Post Accident
DOT rules require that any driver involved in an accident that results in a death or
citation for a moving violation must submit to a test for the presence of drugs and alcohol.

-2-

4496.111/1/2005

�An accident is defined as an occurrence involving a commercial vehicle operating on a
public road which results in a fatality, an injury requiring immediate treatment away from the
scene or disabling damage requiring one or more vehicles to be towed.
Prior to a driver operating a commercial motor vehicle, an employer must provide the
driver with necessary post-accident information, procedures, and instructions on complying with
these requirements. A driver subject to post-accident testing must remain readily available for
the testing, or the employer may consider that the driver has refused to submit to testing. The
DOT rules specifically detail certain actions that must be taken when the required test has not
been administered within a reasonable time frame after the accident
Random Testing
DOT regulations mandate that the employer establish a random drug and alcohol testing
program. Random testing must be conducted just before, during, or just after an employee's
performance of safety-sensitive duties.
Employees are randomly selected for testing (usually from a "pool" or employees subject
to testing). The testing dates and times are unannounced and are with unpredictable frequency
throughout the year. Selection must be made by a scientifically valid method and testing must be
spread reasonably throughout the calendar year.
The minimum annual percentage rate for random alcohol testing is currently 10 percent
of the number of drivers. For controlled substances, the random testing rate is presently 50
percent. The FHWA can increase or decrease these percentages effective January 1 each year,
based on the reported violation rate for the entire industry.
Reasonable Suspicion

-3-

4496.111/1/2005

�An employerroustrequire that a driver be tested if the employer determines that
reasonable suspicion exists that the driver has violated the drug use or alcohol misuse
prohibitions contained in the regulations. The determination must be based on specific,
contemporaneous, articulable observations concerning the appearance, behavior, speech or body
odors of the driver. Observations may include indications of the chronic and withdrawal effects
of controlled substances.
The employer representative who makes the determination that reasonable suspicion
exists must receive at least 60 minutes of training on drug use and at least an additional 60
minutes of training on alcohol misuse. The person who determines that reasonable suspicion
exists must not conduct an alcohol test
Retum-to-Duty
An employee found to be in violation of the alcohol and/or controlled substance
prohibitions must pass a retum-to-duty test before engaging in a safety-sensitive functions.
Follow-Up
When a substance abuse professional determines that a driver needs assistance in
resolving problems associated with alcohol misuse and/or controlled substance abuse, he/she will
be subject to unannounced follow-up testing by the employer. The substance abuse professional
specifies the number and type of tests required, with at least six tests being conducted during the
first two months the driver returns to duty. The tests can be conducted only when the driver is
performing safety-sensitive functions or just before or just after performing safety-sensitive
functions.
You should know the DOT rules do not require an employer to offer an employee
assistance program ("EAP") to an employee that tests positive for drugs or alcohol. In addition,

-4-

4496.1 11/1/2D0S

�an employer is not required to pay for rehabilitation, pay for treatment, or to reinstate the
employee in his/her safety-sensitive position. Indeed, many of these issues must be negotiated
with the union, if applicable.
Collection/Test Site
The employer's program must designate one or more collection sites where drivers may
provide a urine specimen for drug testing purposes. Each site must have all necessary personnel,
materials, equipment, facilities and supervision to provide for privacy and the collection,
security, temporary storage and shipping urine specimens to a certified drug testing laboratory.
The location must also be sufficient to prevent unauthorized persons from seeing or hearing test
results.
If the Village elects to operate its own collection site, we can provide you with specific
requirements for collection sites. Alternatively, there are many companies that provide the
service of acting as a collection site. The Village must ensure that any collection site utilized
complies with DOT requirements.
Certified Testing Laboratories
The employer may only use laboratories certified by the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services to test urine specimens. The DOT rules have specific requirements that govern
testing laboratories. You should ensure that the testing laboratory selected by the Village will
comply with the DOT regulations. The Department of Health and Human Services publishes a
monthly list of certified laboratories.
Medical Review Officer f"MRO")

-5-

4496.111/1/2005

�3^

An MRO is a licensed doctor of medicine or osteopathy having expertise in drug abuse
disorders. The DOT rules require that the employer designate an appropriate individual to serve
as the MRO.
The MRO's primary function is to review, interpret and report test results of drivers and
driver applicants. Negative test results would be reported to the employer or management
official designated to receive those results. In the event of a positive test result, the MRO would
contact the driver to determine if a legitimate explanation for the positive test exists. If, in the
MRO's judgment, no reasonable explanation exists for a positive test, those results would be
passed on to the employer.
The DOT rules contain detailed requirements on an MRO's additional obligations. Most
companies that provide DOT testing services also provide an MRO.
Breath Alcohol Technician ("BAT")
A BAT instructs and assists the driver in the breath testing process, operates the
evidential breath testing device, and interprets and reports results to the designated employer
official. The BAT must be trained to proficiency in accordance with the DOT model course.
The DOT rules contained detailed requirements on a BAT's additional obligations. Notification
Requirements
An employer must tell a driver applicant the results of pre-employment drug test if the
applicant requests the results within 60 calendar days of being notified that he/she will not be
hired.
An employer must notify a driver of random, reasonable suspicion and post accident
testing results, and the drug(s) identified if the results are verified positive.

-6-

4496.1 11/1/2005

�If an MRO is unable to contact a driver to discuss a positive result, the designated
employer official may make a reasonable attempt to notify the driver that he/she should contact
the MRO within 24 hours. Once a drier has been notified, the employer must immediately
inform the MRO.
These are only a few examples of the notification requirements in the DOT rules.
Record-Keeping Requirements
An employer must keep individual negative test results for a minimum of 12 months.
Records related to the collection process and training must be kept for at least 2 years. All other
records in the employer's possession relating to the administration and results of the drivers drug
and alcohol testing program must be maintained for five years. In addition, the employer must
maintain, on a calendar year basis, a summary of those records related to the administration and
results of the employer drug testing program.
Training for Supervisors
Each employer shall ensure that all persons designated to supervise drivers receive at
least 60 minutes of training on alcohol misuse and receive at least an additional 60 minutes of
training on controlled substances use. The training will be used by the supervisors to determine
whether reasonable suspicion exists to undergo testing. The training must include the physical,
behavioral, speech, and performance indicators of probable alcohol misuse and use of controlled
substances.
On August 1,2001, the DOT implemented revised rules for drug and alcohol testing
applicable to transportation workers in safety-sensitive positions. The DOT revised rules affect
DOT-regulated employers, as well as laboratories, collectors, MRO's, and other service agents.

-7-

4496.1 11/1/2005

�Y&gt;o

Some of the provisions which are particularly significant for DOT-regulated employers are the
following:
Obtain Drug and Alcohol Testing Records of Previous Employers
All DOT-regulated employers must, after obtaining an employee's written consent,
request the following information from the employee's previous DOT-regulated employers for
the two years prior to the employee's hire or transfer into a safety-sensitive position:
(a)

Alcohol tests with a result of 0.04 or higher alcohol concentration;

(b)

Verified positive drug tests;

(c)

Refusals to be tested (including verified adulterated or substituted drug results);

(d)

Other violations of DOT drug and alcohol testing regulations; and,

(e)

With respect to any employee who violated a DOT drug and alcohol regulation,

documentation of the employee's successful completion of DOT return-to-duty requirements
(including follow-up tests). If the previous employer does not have information about the returnto-duty process, you must seek to obtain this information from the employee.
If the employee refuses to provide written consent, the employer must not permit the
employee to perform safety-sensitive functions. This requirement applies only to employees
seeking to begin performing safety-sensitive duties for the first time (e.g.. new hires, or a transfer
into a safety-sensitive position). If the employer obtains information that the employee has
violated a DOT drug and alcohol regulation, the employer may not use the employee to perform
safety-sensitive functions unless the employer also obtains information that the employee
subsequently has complied with the DOT retum-to-duty requirements. These include evaluation
by an SAP appropriate referral and treatment, return to duty testing, follow-up testing, and
additional treatment, aftercare or support group services.

-8-

4496.1 11/1/2905

�In addition, the employer also must ask the employee whether he or she has tested
positive, or refused to test, on any pre-employment drug or alcohol test administered by a
prospective employer to which the employee applied for, but did not obtain, safety-sensitive
transportation work covered by DOT drug and alcohol testing rules during the past two years. If
the employee admits that he or she had a positive drug test or refused to test, the employer must
not use the employee to perform safety-sensitive functions, until and unless the employee
documents successful completion of the return-to-duty process.
Split-Specimen Collections.
Employers must ensure that all laboratories they use perform split specimen collections
of urine, as described above.
Designated Employer Representative ("PER").
An employer must have a Designated Employer Representative, who is an employee
authorized by the employer to take immediate action(s) to remove employees from safetysensitive duties and to make required decisions in the testing and evaluation processes. The DER
also receives test results and other communications for the employer. An employer is prohibited
from using a service agent to act as its DER
Treatment of Negative Dilute Specimens.
If an MRO informs an employer that a negative drug test was dilute, the employer may,
but is not required to, direct the employee to provide another specimen immediately. Such recollection must not be made under direct observation, unless there is some other basis justifying
the use of direct observation (for example, the original specimen appeared to have been tampered
with).
Responsibility for Obtaining Information from Service Agents.

4496.1 11/1/2005

�v\0^

I
An employer is responsible for obtaining information from its service agents, even if it
uses a consortium or third-party administrator to transmit information to it. If, for example, there
is a delay in obtaining the results of an applicant's drug test, the employer must not assume that
"no news is good news" and permit the applicant to perform safety-sensitive functions before
receiving the result. It must affirmatively inquire as to the results.
Ensuring That Service Agents Used by the Employer Are Not Subject to a PIE.
Employers must ensure that any service agents they engaged (e.g., laboratories,
collectors, MRO's, SAP's, third-party administrators) are not subject to a public interest
exclusion ("PIE"). DOT will issue PIEs to service agents who do not comply with DOT's drug
and alcohol testing rule. A PIE directs DOT-regulated employers not to use the service agent for

I

a period of time ranging from one to five years. Employers are deemed to have notice that a
service agent is subject to a PIE when the DOT places the service agent on its "List of Excluded
Drug and Alcohol Service Agents," found on DOT's website (http://www.dot.gov/ost/clapc).
Once the employer has notice that a service agent is subject to a PIE, the employer has 90 days
within which to stop using the services of that service agent If an employer continues to use the
services of that service agent beyond the 90-day notice period, the employer will be in violation
of DOT's regulations and may be subject to applicable DOT sanctions (such as civil penalties
and withholding of Federal financial assistance).
The summary outlined above mentions only some of the more significant provisions of
the new drug and alcohol testing rule for DOT-regulated employers. (The rule in its entirety is
available on the DOT website, http://dms.dotgov,docket OST-99-6578, or on the Federal
Register's website, http://www/access.gpo.gov/su docs/aces/aces 140-htmT).
