10
UNANNOUNCED RANDOM TESTING
  • Must be completed on safety-sensitive drivers
    each year.
  • Drivers are randomly selected from the Ampco
    System/ ABM employee pool.
  • Drivers must be tested just before, during or
    immediately after performing a safety sensitive
    function.
  • All random testing must be unannounced and
    employees must proceed immediately to the test
    site.
  • Refusal to take a test will constitute a positive
    result.

11
RANDOM DRUG and ALCOHOL TESTS
  • Random Tests are determined by non-biased random
    selection and according to federal, state and
    local law.
  • Ten (10) percent of the affected drivers must be
    tested for alcohol and fifty (50) percent of the
    affected drivers must be tested for controlled
    substances.

12
Reasonable Suspicion Drug and Alcohol Tests

  • who has received the training
  • required by DOT and has
  • specific clearly stated
  • observations concerning the
  • appearance, behavior, speech

  • sensitive driver.

13
REFUSAL TO SUBMIT TO A REQUIRED DOT TEST
  • Drivers who refuse to submit to required alcohol
    and /or controlled substance tests must be
    immediately removed from safety-sensitive
    positions and may not continue in their
    positions. 49CFR 382.211

14
Refusal to test also includes
  • Failure to provide enough breath or saliva for
    alcohol testing.

    without a valid medical reason after being
    notified of the testing requirements,
  • Or clearly obstruct the testing process,
  • Or attempt to tamper and/or adulterate a urine
    sample for drug testing purposes.

15
HOW IS ALCOHOL TESTING DONE?
  • All alcohol testing is done by a trained
    technician in a private setting where no one but
    you and the technician can see or hear the test
    results. A breath saliva testing device approved
    by the
  • National Highway Safety Administration
  • will be used.

16
HOW IS ALCOHOL TESTING DONE?
  • The technician will ask for identification.
  • A screening test is done first.
  • If the reading is less than 0.02, you will sign
    the certification and fill in the date on the
    form.
  • If the reading is 0.02 or greater, a confirmation
    test must be done using an evidential breath
    testing device (EBT).

17
HOW IS ALCOHOL TESTING DONE?
  • If the Screening Test and Confirmation Test
    results are not the same, the confirmation test
    result is used.
  • If you refuse to be tested or sign the testing
    form, the technician will immediately notify the
    AMPCO SYSTEM DOT Administrator.

18
POSITIVE ALCOHOL TESTS
  • 0.02-0.39 The employee will be prohibited from
    performing any safety-sensitive function for 24
    hours, Ampco System supervision will be notified
    and the employee driver must be driven home from
    the collection sight. In addition, the employee
    will be suspended without pay and prohibited from
    performing any safety -sensitive
  • functions until they have submitted to
    another alcohol test and have results below 0.02
  • 0.04 or Greater The employee will be suspended
    from duty without pay, pending an investigation
    by Ampco System Management. A confirmed positive
    test of 0.04 or Greater will result in immediate
    termination.

19
HOW IS DRUG TESTING DONE?
  • Drug testing is done by analyzing a urine sample,
    which is collected in a private location. Urine
    specimens are divided into two containers by the
    collection site technician in your presence.
    These two samples, called primary and split,
    are analyzed by a testing laboratory certified by
    the
  • Department of Health and Human Services.
  • At the laboratory a screening test is performed
    on the primary sample.
  • If this test is positive for drugs,
  • a confirmation test is required.

20
POSITIVE DRUG TESTS
  • If an employee drug test comes back
  • positive, the employee will be notified by the
  • clinics Medical Review Officer(MRO). The
  • MRO will review the test results with the
  • employee to determine alternative medical
  • explanations for the positive test results.
  • Employees with positive test results will be
  • allowed 72 hours following notification of
  • their positive test results to request a re-test
  • of the original test sample by a government
  • approved testing facility. Any re-test will be
  • at the employees expense and the employee
  • will be suspended without pay until the
  • results are received by Ampco System.

21
Ampco System is committed to providing a safe,
healthy work environment for all employees and
reducing the potential for accidents and
injuries. Maintaining high standards for job
performance, attendance, quality customer service
and the highest level of passenger safety is the
standard that has made Ampco System a trademark
in the industry.
22
REHABILITATION
  • Ampco System will not knowingly hire any
    person using illegal drugs or having a history of
    alcohol or drug dependency unless there is firm
    evidence of rehabilitation satisfactory to the
    Company. Department of Transportation
    Regulations regarding drug and alcohol abuse do
    no require the Company to provide rehabilitation
    benefits, hold an employees position open or pay
    an employees wages while the undergo treatment
    for drug and/or alcohol misuse.

23
  • The hazards of drug and alcohol misuse extend
    far beyond the individual user. Impaired
    employees endanger themselves, fellow employees
    and all people around them. Even moderate doses
    of drugs and/or alcohol can impair the judgment,
    coordination and reaction time needed to drive a
    vehicle. When combined, the effects can become
    deadly.

24
  • Those employees in safety-sensitive positions
    must realize that drug and alcohol abuse is a
    complex problem calling for specialized
    treatment. They must remain vigilant while
    performing their duties and intervene where they
    think a fellow employee may be endangering
    themselves, fellow employees or the general
    public.

25
