DOT Federal Specimen Collection Process Defined The Gold Standard 49 CFR Part 40 DOT Federal Specimen Collection Process Defined

DOT Program Goals (continued) Ensure the Fairness & Integrity of the testing process – Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991. Maintain employee privacy & confidentiality. Have “Gatekeepers” in place to ensure “due process.” Certified Drug Testing Laboratories Medical Review Officers & Substance Abuse Professionals Administrative Law Judges & Arbitrators Federal Courts [e.g., Decision on Direct Observation] Systems must be auditable & reviewable by DOT Agencies. Develop “plain-language” regulations, policies, and guidance documents. 4 4

DOT Drug & Alcohol Testing Regulated Industry Program 5 5

The Program Works Sustained Drop in Overall Drug Use ~ Each Horizontal Grid Line Represents 1% ~ 6 6

Drug Testing Data Since 2005 Here’s what the past 6 years tells us. Positives on the decline – good news. Amphetamine above Cocaine [three straight reporting periods] [consistent with Quest Data] MJ most prevalent & rising [consistent with ONDCP & other indices] 7

Recent Events DOT’s “Medical Marijuana” Guidance – October 2009 Bottom Line: Medical Review Officers will not verify a drug test as negative based upon information that a physician recommended that the employee use “medical marijuana.” It remains unacceptable for any safety‐sensitive employee subject to drug testing under the Department of Transportation’s drug testing regulations to use marijuana. Public Interest Exclusion – Published November 17, 2009

Types of Drug Test Urine Drug Test *Rapid or “instant” *Laboratory Based (DOT and non-DOT) Hair Collection Blood Collection < don’t do please Cheek Swab – instant or lab based

Security and Integrity

Security and Integrity

Collection Steps Employee reports for test Collector verifies identity - photo ID Collector explains basic collection procedures to employee Ex. Backside of CCF (copy 5), posters displayed at site, checklists used by collector Collector reviews CCF and completes

The Collection Site Two types: single toilet restroom and multi-stall restroom Site must have: Restroom or stall with toilet Source of water to wash hands Suitable clean surface for area to complete paperwork and collection steps Collector must secure water sources and other possible adulterants

Instructions to employee Collector must inspect the restroom before (& after) every specimen collection The collector gives a collection kit to the employee or the employee is allowed to select a kit Collection kit is opened in the presence of both collector and employee Collector directs the employee to go into restroom, provide a specimen of at least 45 mL, do not flush the toilet and return the specimen to the collector as soon as possible

Pre-collection steps Collector directs the employee to remove unnecessary outer garments Collector directs the employee to empty pockets and display items Collector directs the employee to wash and dry their hands

Post collection steps Collector accepts specimen from employee Collector must check the following: Temperature of specimen – within 4 minutes Specimen volume – 45 mL Signs of adulteration/substitution Collector completes Step 2 of CCF

Accepting/securing specimen Collector will open specimen bottles Collector will pour 30 mL into one specimen bottle (primary/A) then at least 15 mL into other specimen bottle (split/B)

Routine Collections Specimen preparation Complete Step 2 of CCF The collector pours the urine into the transport bottles Seal “A” on the primary bottle with at least 30 ml of urine Seal “B” on the bottle with at least 15 ml of urine Complete Step 3 of CCF Collector attaches labels Collector dates labels Donor initials labels

Federal Custody & Control Form The CCF must be a five-part carbonless manifold form: Copy 1 – Laboratory Copy 2 – Medical Review Officer (MRO) Copy 3 – Collector Copy 4 – Employer (DER) Copy 5 – Donor  DISTRIBUTE APPROPRIATELY

SHY BLADDER continued… Start water log/notations in “Remarks” 3 hours and 40 ounces A responsible party must observe the employee during the 3 hours

INSUFFICIENT SPECIMEN Dump the initial specimen New collection kit Original CCF Record time in “Remarks” Start water log/notations in “Remarks” 3 hours – 40 ounces

Failed Test if…. Leaving Site before giving sample Refusing to follow Collector Instruction Foul Language or Abusive Behavior Threats to Staff Cold Urine (not 90- 100 degrees) *Cold Urine DOT collected and 2nd Observed 2nd Collected > both samples sent to lab.

Refusal to Test Considered by DOT = Failed test Considered by PALM = Failed test Employers = ??? You decide (unless ER is DOT employer)

The Collector Part 40 defines a collector as a trained person who instructs and assists employees at a collection site, who receives and makes an initial inspection of the urine specimen provided by those employees, and who initiates and completes the Federal Drug Testing Custody and Control Form (CCF).

Direct Observation Collections Collections under direct observation are required when: Temperature out of range Specimen shows signs of tampering Collector finds item intended for adulterating or substituting specimen Directed by MRO Test reasons are Return to duty and Follow-ups Specific protocol – lift, lower, turn around

Direct Observation Cont. D.O. collection must occur immediately Same-gender observer Need not be a trained collector Observer must: Require that donor disrobe (to chest, knees) and rotate to display absence of devices Watch urine travel from body to cup Record name on CCF (if not collector)

Refusal to test continued For a direct observed collection, failure to follow collector’s instructions Possessing or wearing a prosthetic or other device that could be used to interfere with testing process Admission to collector (or MRO) that employee adulterated or substituted specimen

Beating the drug test Three common methods: Dilution – adding water (less common) or drinking large quantities of fluids (more common) Adding adulterant to specimen – designed to breakdown drug metabolites or interfere with laboratory instruments Substituting a “clean” specimen
