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. The follow -up test must, in all cases, be a negative test. Cancelled and invalid tests will require a submission of a second sample for drug testing. 2.3 Drug Testing Procedures See Part 7 for specific drug information. Drug testing will be conducted using laboratory testing of urine specimens for the following drugs: • Marijuana Metabolites • MDMA (aka. Ecstasy) — Effective Oct. 1, 2010 • Cocaine Metabolites • Initial testing for Heroin — Effective Oct. 1, 2010 • Opiate Metabolites • Phencyclidine • Amphetamines Effective October 1, 2010, the DOT requires additional testing for MDMA , initial testing for heroin, and lowering cutoff levels for cocaine and amphetamines. All urine specimens will be collected at a site designated by the City of Eugene, which meets guidelines established by DOT under 49 CFR Part 40, as revised. Collection site personnel will be responsible for maintaining the integrity of the specimen collection and transfer process and for protecting the dignity and privacy of the covered employee providing the sample. The process includes separating the specimen into two bottles and sealing them in the employee's presence. Chain of custody procedures, using DOT urine custody and control forms, will be used throughout the collection and analysis process to ensure test results will be attributed to the correct covered employee. DOT's urine CCF (Custody and Control Form) documents the chain of custody and is legal evidence that reported test results apply to the donor. 2.4 Observed Collection Under some circumstances an observed collection may be required. The observer must be the same gender as the employee. Refusal to allow a direct- observation collection is considered a refusal -to -test. 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. The collector must do a direct observation if: • The specimen temperature is out of range, or • The collector identifies a clear attempt to tamper with the specimen.
