which controlled substance or substances were verified as positive. Results of alcohol tests will <br />be immediately available from the collection agent. <br />Right to Confirmatory Retest <br />Within seventy-two (72) hours after receiving notice of a positive controlled substance test <br />result, an applicant or driver may request through the MRO a re -analysis (confirmatory retest) of <br />the driver's split specimen. Action required by federal regulation as a result of a positive <br />controlled substance test (e.g., removal from safety -sensitive functions) will not be stayed during <br />retesting of the split specimen. If the result of the confirmatory retest fails to reconfirm the <br />presence of the controlled substance(s) or controlled substance metabolite(s) found in the <br />primary specimen, or if the split specimen is unavailable, inadequate for testing or untestable, the <br />MRO will cancel the test. <br />Dilute Specimens <br />Dilute Negatives Creatinine concentration of specimen is equal to or greater than 2 mg/dL, but <br />less than or equal to 5 mg/dL. If the City receives information that a driver has provided a dilute <br />negative specimen, the City will direct a recollection, pursuant to the MRO's direction, under <br />direct observation. <br />CONSEQUENCES FOR DRIVERS ENGAGING IN PROHIBITED CONDUCT <br />Job Applicants <br />Any applicable conditional offer of employment will be withdrawn from a job applicant or <br />employee seeking a transfer who refuses to be tested or tests positive for a controlled substance <br />pursuant to this policy. <br />Employees <br />Drivers who are known to have engaged in prohibited behavior with regard to alcohol misuse or <br />use of a controlled substance, as defined earlier in this policy, are subject to the following <br />consequences: <br />• Removal from Safety_ -Sensitive Functions: No driver may perform safety -sensitive <br />functions, including driving a commercial motor vehicle, if the driver has engaged in <br />conduct prohibited by federal law. <br />No driver who is found to have an alcohol concentration of 0.02 or greater but less than 0.04 may <br />perform or continue to perform safety -sensitive functions for the City, including driving a <br />commercial motor vehicle, until the start of the driver's next regularly scheduled duty, but not <br />less than twenty-four (24) hours following administration of the test. <br />If a driver tests positive under this policy or is found to have an alcohol concentration of .02 or <br />greater but less than .04, the driver will be removed from safety sensitive duties and escorted <br />home; the driver should not drive home but be escorted to his or her home.
