Types and Frequency of Testing. Testing for controlled substances will be conducted as a condition of hire, on a random basis during employment, after certain work-related accidents, upon reasonable suspicion, before returning to duty after a confirmed positive test, and as a follow-up after a confirmed negative return-to-duty test.

Testing for alcohol will be conducted on a random basis during employment, after certain work-related accidents, upon reasonable suspicion, before returning to duty after a confirmed positive test, and as a

follow-up after a confirmed negative return-to-duty test. All testing will be conducted in conformance with 49 CFR, §40.

Pre-Employment Testing. Every prospective employee is required to test negative for the use of controlled substances as a condition of hire. Employees returning to work for the Company after an absence of one month or more will be required to undergo pre-employment testing.

Random Testing. Employees are subject to unannounced, random testing which will be reasonably spaced over a twelvemonth period. Random testing will include both controlled (chemical) substance and alcohol testing.

Employees will be selected on a random basis using a scientifically valid method, such that each employee has an equal chance of being tested each time selections are made.

Post-Accident Testing. Every covered employee who is involved in an accident requiring post-accident testing must provide a urine sample and a breath sample in accordance with the collection procedures of 49 CFR, §40. The urine samples must be provided as soon as possible following the accident but in no event later than thirty-two hours thereafter. The breath sample must be provided as soon as possible following the accident but in no event later than eight hours thereafter.

An accident requiring post-accident testing is an accident that: 1) results in the death of a human being; or 2) in which personal injury occurred; or 3) property damage in excess of $1,500 occurred; and the employer has reason to believe that the employee’s act or failure to act is a direct or proximate cause of the work related accident.

If a controlled substance test required by this section is not administered within 32 hours following the accident, the Company shall cease attempts to administer the test and shall prepare and maintain a record stating the reasons the test was not promptly administered.

If an alcohol test required by this section is not administered within 8 hours following the accident, the Company shall cease attempts to administer the test and shall prepare and maintain a record stating the reasons the test was not promptly administered.

Reasonable Suspicion Testing. An employee will be required to submit to testing whenever a supervisor has reasonable suspicion to believe that the employee may have engaged in prohibited conduct within the meaning of this policy. The supervisor’s determination that reasonable suspicion exists must be based on specific observations concerning the appearance, behavior, speech, or body odors of the employee. Reasonable suspicion drug and alcohol testing may be conducted before, during, or immediately after an employee performs work or is on-duty.

In the event of testing upon reasonable suspicion, the supervisor will prepare and sign a statement of conduct observed within 24 hours of the observed behavior or before test results are released, whichever occurs first. Supervisors must be trained in the observance of behavior related to the use of controlled substances and alcohol in accordance with 49 CFR, §382.603.

The Company will not permit the employee to perform or continue to perform work or to be on-duty until a drug or alcohol test is administered; and the employee’s alcohol concentration measures less than 0.02 or twenty-four hours have elapsed following the reasonable suspicion determination; or the employee's drug testing results are verified as negative for the use of a controlled substance.

If a drug test required by this section is not administered within 32 hours following the reasonable suspicion determination, the Company shall cease attempts to administer a drug test and shall maintain a record stating the reasons for not administering the test.

If an alcohol test required by this section is not administered within eight hours following the reasonable suspicion determination, the Company shall cease attempts to administer an alcohol test and shall maintain a record stating the reasons for not administering the test.

Return-to-Duty Testing. If the Company chooses to permit an employee to return to work following a positive controlled substance or alcohol test, the employee must submit to return-to-duty testing prior to

returning to work. The test cannot occur until after the SAP has determined that the employee has successfully complied with prescribed education and/or treatment.

An employee who engaged in prohibited conduct concerning controlled substances shall undergo a return-to-duty controlled substances test with a result indicating a verified negative result for controlled substance use. An employee who engaged in prohibited conduct concerning alcohol shall undergo a return-to-duty alcohol test with a result indicating an alcohol concentration of less than 0.02 before returning to duty.

Follow-up Testing. If the Company chooses to permit an employee to return to work following a negative controlled substance or alcohol return-to-duty test, the employee must submit to follow-up testing of a minimum of six unannounced tests during the first twelve months following a negative return-to-duty test.

Moreover, the employee may be subject to additional follow-up testing during the forty-eight months following the initial twelve months of testing. These follow-up tests will be in addition to any other tests the employee may be subject to (e.g. random, post-accident or reasonable suspicion testing).

VI. Consequences of Engaging in Prohibited Conduct

Any employee who engages in prohibited conduct under this policy will be subject to discipline, including possible termination of employment.

The Company will immediately remove an employee from work duties, without pay, if it receives a verified positive, adulterated, or substituted drug test result or an alcohol test result of 0.04 or greater; or if the employee refuses to be tested.

An employee who has a confirmed alcohol concentration of greater than 0.02, but less than 0.04, will be removed from duty, without pay, until the start of the employee’s next regularly scheduled duty period, but not less than 24 hours following administration of the test.

2. Random Testing. At its discretion, the Company may permit an employee whose test results are positive for a controlled substance or alcohol in a random test, an unpaid personal leave of absence in which time he/she must obtain substance abuse evaluation, counseling and/or treatment. If the employee fails to complete the required treatment or fails to return before the expiration of the unpaid leave, his or her employment with the Company will be terminated.

An employee whose test results for a second or subsequent random controlled substance or alcohol test are positive will have his/her employment with the Company terminated.

3. Post-accident Testing. An employee whose test results for a post-accident controlled substance or alcohol test are positive will have his or her employment with the Company terminated.

4. Reasonable Suspicion. At its discretion, the Company may permit an employee whose test results are positive for a controlled substance or alcohol in a reasonable suspicion test, an unpaid personal leave of absence in which time he or she must obtain substance abuse evaluation, counseling and/or treatment. If the employee fails to complete the required treatment or fails to return before the expiration of the unpaid leave, his/her employment with the Company will be terminated.

An employee whose test results for a second or subsequent reasonable suspicion controlled substance or alcohol test are positive will have his/her employment with the Company terminated.

Employees who engage in prohibited conduct under this policy, and are granted a personal leave by the Company, will not be returned to work until they have completed the Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) referral, evaluation, and education/treatment process. The SAP will evaluate the employee to determine what assistance, if any, the employee needs in resolving problems associated with substance abuse.

Such employees will be subject to the standard testing program, and in addition must submit to unannounced follow-up testing. The number and frequency of the tests will be directed by the SAP and will consist of at least six tests in the first twelve months following the employee’s return to duty. The SAP may also require follow-up tests during the forty-eight months following the first twelve-month period.

VII. CRIMINAL SANCTIONS

Individuals engaging in the manufacture, distribution, transportation, possession, sale or consumption of illegal substances may be subject to criminal charges under state and federal laws. These criminal charges may be brought by state or federal law enforcement agencies and are independent of this policy and program.

VIII. LOSS OF OR REDUCTION IN BENEFITS

Individuals engaging in prohibited conduct may be subject to loss of or a reduction in benefits administered by individual states. Benefits that may be affected include, but are not limited to, unemployment compensation and worker's compensation.

The loss or reduction of these benefits is governed by individual state laws and may be based on the individual's state of residency and the location of their employment.

IX. MEDICAL AND RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA

The possession of medicinal or recreational marijuana is allowed for by certain states. However, the Company has adopted a strict policy against the possession and use of medical and recreational marijuana, in any form or quantity, within the workplace and/or within the facilities and upon the premises of the Company.

The medical and recreational use of marijuana within the workplace means; the use of marijuana at any time which produces a level of THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), or its metabolites, within a person’s bodily system that equals or exceeds the detection levels established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, 49 CFR, §40; while performing work or the supervision of work within the workplace.

X. SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROFESSIONAL EVALUATION AND TREATMENT

The Company may, at its discretion, allow an employee to return to work after testing positive for a controlled (chemical) substance or alcohol. If the Company so chooses, the employee will be given an unpaid personal leave in which to complete a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) evaluation, referral, and/or education/treatment program. The SAP will evaluate the employee to determine what assistance, if any, the employee needs in resolving problems associated with substance abuse.

Before returning to work the employee must obtain a release from the SAP and provide it to the Company. The release must indicate that the SAP has determined that the employee can safely return to work. The release must also describe additional or ongoing treatment the employee must complete, if any. If allowed to return to work by the Company, the employee is required to abide by the SAP’s recommendations for any ongoing treatment as a condition of continued employment. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

Assessment by an SAP does not shield an employee from disciplinary action or guarantee employment or reinstatement with the Company. The costs for the SAP shall be paid by the employee receiving assistance. If the employee does not complete the required SAP program or fails to return to work before the expiration of the personal leave period, his/her employment with the Company will be terminated.

XI. MEDICAL REVIEW OFFICER (MRO)

A Medical Review Officer (MRO) will review and process all test results in accordance with 49 CFR, §40, prior to reporting them to the Company. The MRO is a licensed physician who meets the requirements of 49 CFR, §40.121.

The MRO shall examine alternate medical explanations for any positive test result. Prior to making a final decision to verify a positive test result for an individual, the MRO shall give the employee an opportunity to discuss the test result with him or her. Any person testing positive for controlled (chemical) substances will be asked to provide information concerning legal use of controlled (chemical) substances (including prescription drugs) when such information might explain the presence of a controlled (chemical) substance.

XII. Right of Rebuttal

The Company will provide the tested employee with a copy of the test report, upon request. The employee may request a retest of the split specimen by an independent certified laboratory selected by the employee, within seventy-two hours after the employee has been notified of a positive test result for controlled (chemical) substances. The employee may be responsible for payment of the additional testing. The employee will be given the opportunity to rebut or explain the results of either or both tests.

XIII. Compensation

Employees subject to testing will be compensated for their time while traveling to and from the collection or testing site and time spent undergoing collection or testing procedures. Prospective employees, whose negative drug test results are a condition for employment, will not be compensated for their time related to pre-employment drug testing.

XIV. Confidentiality

Information regarding results of testing under this policy will be released only in accordance with 49 CFR, §382.14; or when required to do so by a court or government agency of proper jurisdiction.
