follow-up alcohol and/or controlled substance testing. The number and frequency of such follow- <br />up testing will be directed by the SAP and will consist of at least six (6) tests in the first twelve <br />(12) months following the driver's return to duty. Follow-up testing will not exceed sixty (60) <br />months from the date of the driver's return to duty. The SAP may terminate the requirement for <br />follow-up testing at any time after the first six tests have been administered, if the SAP <br />determines such test is no longer necessary. The employee is responsible for paying for all costs <br />associated with follow-up tests. <br />Follow-up alcohol testing will be conducted only when the driver is performing safety -sensitive <br />functions, or immediately prior to or after performing safety -sensitive functions. <br />Cost of Required Testing <br />The City will pay for the cost of pre -employment, post -accident, random, and reasonable <br />substance and alcohol testing requested or required of all job applicants and employees. The <br />driver must pay for the cost of all requested confirmatory re -tests, return -to -duty, and follow-up <br />testing. <br />PROHIBITED CONDUCT <br />The following conduct is explicitly prohibited by applicable DOT and FMCSA regulations and <br />therefore constitutes violation of City policy. <br />Under the Influence of Alcohol When Reporting for Duty or While on Duty <br />No driver may report for duty or remain on duty requiring the performance of safety -sensitive <br />functions while having an alcohol concentration of 0.04 or greater. Drivers reporting for duty or <br />remaining on duty to perform safety -sensitive functions while having an alcohol concentration of <br />0.02, but less than 0.04, will be removed from duty for 24 hours, escorted home and placed on <br />vacation leave or compensatory time off leave for hours missed from work. <br />On -Duty Use of Alcohol <br />No driver may use alcohol while performing safety -sensitive functions. <br />Pre -Duty Use of Alcohol <br />No driver may perfoiiu safety -sensitive functions within four (4) hours after using alcohol. If an <br />employee has had alcohol within four hours they are to notify their supervisors before <br />performing any safety -sensitive functions. <br />Alcohol Use Following an Accident <br />No driver required to take a post -accident alcohol test may use alcohol for eight (8) hours <br />following the accident, or until the driver undergoes a post -accident alcohol test, whichever <br />occurs first. <br />Refusal to Submit to a Required Alcohol or Controlled Substance Test <br />No applicant or driver may refuse to submit to pre -employment, post -accident, random, <br />reasonable suspicion or follow-up alcohol or controlled substance testing. <br />103 <br />
