Proposed 10/19/98 <br /> <br />DOT-Regulated Employees will be given DOT pre-employment drag <br />testing at the time they are hired for, or transferred to, a DOT-covered <br />position. Together with other accident testing which may be required by <br />the County, DOT-Regulated Employees will be given DOT drag and <br />alcohol tests as soon as possible after they are involved in an accident <br />while operating a County owned vehicle, if the accident involves a fatality <br />or if the DOT-Regulated Employee is cited in an accident which requires a <br />vehicle to be towed or gives rise to a personal injury which requires <br />medical attention. Alcohol testing must be done as soon as possible <br />following an accident, but in no event more than 8 hours after the <br />accident. Drug testing must be done as soon as possible after the accident, <br />but in no event more than 32 hours after the accident. <br /> <br />DOT-Regulated Employees will be given random DOT drug and alcohol <br />tests and will be kept in a random pool that includes only DOT-Regulated <br />Employees. Alcohol testing must occur just before, during, or just after <br />the perfomiance of their covered safety-sensitive duties. DOT-Regulated <br />Employees may also be subject to drug and alcohol testing upon <br />reasonable suspicion, based upon observable performance, behavioral, or <br />physical indicators of probable drug or alcohol use. <br /> <br />A result of .04 percent (.04%) or higher on the DOT alcohol test is a <br />positive test result. DOT-Regulated Employees with a DOT alcohol test <br />result of between .02 percent (.02%) and .039 percent (.039%) are <br /> <br /> <br />
