§ 2-237. Alcohol testing procedures.  


Latest version.
  • Alcohol testing procedures will be in accordance with the DOT's alcohol testing procedures at 49 C.F.R. § 40. The test will be performed using breath or saliva samples. Upon notification that an alcohol test is required an employee must report immediately for alcohol testing and provide a breath or saliva specimen. If an employee fails to report to a testing facility in a reasonable time, that employee will be deemed to have refused to submit to alcohol testing. If the result of the initial test is an alcohol concentration of two hundredths (.02) or greater, a confirmation test will be performed. For the purposes of this policy, alcohol means the intoxicating agent in beverage alcohol, ethyl alcohol, or other low molecular weight alcohol including methyl and isopropyl alcohol in any beverage, mixture, or preparation, including any medication.
