Post - accident drug testing must be performed within 32 hours. If the test cannot be performed within 32 hours the test should not be given and the reason(s) why the test could not be given within that time must be documented. Other covered employees, whose performance could have contributed to the accident, shall be tested as determined by the Program Manager or designee, using the best information available at the time of the decision. The supervisor's decision - making process to test or not to test will be documented and maintained as part of the accident file. If the covered employee to be tested was injured in the accident, the requirement to test for drugs and alcohol should not delay necessary medical attention, but said testing could possibly be administered simultaneously to the covered employee receiving necessary medical attention. In order for testing to proceed, the injured employee must be conscious and able to provide a urine sample in the normal way he/she would if not injured. The requirement to test for drugs and alcohol following an accident should in no way delay necessary medical attention for injured people or prohibit a safety - sensitive employee from leaving the scene of an accident to obtain assistance in responding to the accident or to obtain necessary emergency medical care. Any covered employee involved in an accident must remain readily available for alcohol testing for up to eight (8) hours after the accident and should refrain from using alcohol for eight hours following an accident or until the employee has submitted to the required post accident tests (whichever comes first). Any covered employee involved in an accident must remain readily available for drug testing for up to 32 hours after the accident. The covered employee is responsible for notifying his/her supervisor of his or her location if he or she leaves the scene of the accident prior to submission to testing. Failure by the covered employee to remain readily available may be determined to be a refusal to submit to testing. When a covered employee has been notified that he/she will be required to submit to post - accident drug and/or alcohol testing, he/she must report immediately to the collection site designated by the City of Eugene. 2.2.4 Random (382,305) All covered employees will be subject to random and unannounced drug and/or alcohol testing. When a covered employee has been notified that he/she has been selected for testing, he /she must report immediately to the collection site designated by the City of Eugene. The FMCSA or DOT set the testing rates for drugs and alcohol annually, and the City will comply with those testing rates. All covered employees will have an equal chance of being selected for testing and will remain in the random selection pool City of Eugene Page 24 DOT/FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Policy September 2010 Information Packet
