Sample Procedure for Failure to provide Adequate Sampling for Drug and Alcohol tests

a. Employees who cannot provide the required amount of urine will be told to drink 8 ounces of fluid immediately and an additional 8 ounces every 30 minutes up to a total of 40 ounces. If the employee still is unable to produce the required specimen within four hours, the test will be discontinued and ABC will be notified. The employee must then be evaluated by a physician (at the employee's cost) to determine if the reason the employee could not produce a specimen is medically related. If the physician does not find that a medical reason prevented the employee from producing a specimen, then the employee's failure to have produced a sample will constitute a refusal to test and shall constitute the employee's voluntary resignation from employment. b. If the failure to provide the required amount of urine is found to be medically related, the employee will be retested. 3. Failure to provide adequate breath for testing without a valid medical reason, constitutes a refusal to test and shall cause the employee to be considered as having voluntarily resigned from employment. a. An employee who alleges an inability to provide an adequate breath sample will be directed to obtain, as soon as it is practical, a medical evaluation of his or her medical ability to provide an adequate amount of breath. Such an evaluation shall be obtained by the employee at his or her own cost from a licensed physician acceptable to the ABC. If the physician concludes that there is a reasonable medical justification for not providing the adequate breath sample, the failure to have provided the sample shall not constitute a refusal to test. b. If the physician is unable to conclude that a medical reason prevented the provision of an adequate breath sample, the refusal shall constitute a refusal to test and shall cause the employee to be considered as having voluntarily resigned employment. The employee must provide to ABC the physician's written medical conclusions in either case.
