10 <br /> Once notified of a random test, the employee proceeds immediately to <br /> the testing site by transportation which may be provided by the <br /> department. <br /> 11.5.3 Post-Accident <br /> a. As soon as practical following a covered accident, the supervisor or <br /> department head arranges for a drug and alcohol test to be administered <br /> to the covered employee. <br /> b. The post-accident alcohol test should be administered within two hours, <br /> and no later than eight hours following the accident. If the test is not <br /> administered within two hours, the supervisor must document, and <br /> submit to the Personnel Department the reason the alcohol test was not <br /> administered. If the alcohol test is not administered within eight hours <br /> following an accident, attempts to administer the test cease and the <br /> supervisor documents and submits to the Personnel Department the <br /> events that resulted in the failure to administer the test. <br /> c. A post-accident drug test must be administered within 32 hours <br /> following the accident. If the drug test is not administered within 32 <br /> hours, the supervisor should document, and submit to the Personnel <br /> Department, the reasons for not administering the test. <br /> d. An employee subject to post-accident testing must remain readily <br /> available for testing. It is considered a refusal to submit to testing, and <br /> thus a positive test result, if an employee unnecessarily leaves the scene <br /> of an accident before a required test is administered, or if the employee <br /> fails to remain readily available for testing. <br /> e. In no case, should the post-accident testing requirement delay medical <br /> attention for persons injured in the accident. <br /> 11.5.4 Pre-Employment <br /> a. After the offer for employment is made for a position covered under this <br /> policy, the final candidate is required to undergo a drug test prior to <br /> beginning work in the position. A positive test result or refusal to <br /> submit to the drug test will result in disqualification for employment. <br /> b. An applicant who refuses to submit to a drug test will not be considered <br /> for employment for a two year period following the refusal. <br /> 6 <br />
