Prohibited Drugs • Marijuana • Methamphetamines • Amphetamines • Opiates (Codeine, Morphine, • Cocaine Heroin) • Phencyclidine (PCP) Federal regulations require the City of Eugene to test FMCSA- covered employees for prohibited drug and alcohol misuse. Participation in the City's drug and alcohol testing program is a condition of employment for all covered employees. A covered employee who refuses to submit to a drug or alcohol test will be in violation of this policy and may be subject to discipline, up to and including discharge. An off -duty, covered employee who is requested to report for duty less than four hours prior to the requested report time must inform the City of Eugene if he /she has consumed alcohol within four hours of the requested report time and decline the request to report for duty. No driver shall perform safety - sensitive functions within 4 hours after using alcohol. If the City has actual knowledge that an employee has used alcohol within 4 hours, the City shall not permit the employee to perform or continue to perform safety - sensitive functions. (49 CFR, Part 382.207) If an off -duty, covered employee informs the City of Eugene when called to report to work of his/her use of alcohol and claims he/she has the ability to safely perform his/her safety- sensitive function, the covered employee must submit to a breath alcohol test before perfornring safety - sensitive duties. If the covered employee's breath alcohol concentration level measures less than 0.02, the covered employee will be allowed to perform his/her safety - sensitive function (49 CFR, Part 382.501). An off -duty covered employee who informs the City of Eugene of his/her use of alcohol and fails the breath alcohol test will not be permitted to report for duty and will not be considered to be in violation of this policy. (Note — employees receiving standby pay are restricted from consuming alcohol.) If an off -duty covered employee, who does not inform City of Eugene of his/her use of alcohol, exhibits signs of alcohol misuse when he /she reports to work, he /she may be subject to reasonable suspicion testing. If the test indicates a breath alcohol concentration level of 0.02, or greater he /she will not be allowed to perform safety- sensitive job duties. A regularly scheduled covered employee or a covered employee who is given more than four hours notice of the requirement to report for duty must not consume alcohol four hours prior to performing a safety - sensitive function. The option of claiming ability to perform a safety - sensitive function and being tested to prove the ability does not apply.
