Drug test
Drug test is a technical analysis of a biological specimen, for example urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, and/or oral fluid/saliva used to determine the presence or absence of specified parent drugs or their metabolites.
Alcohol and Controlled Substances Testing
Pursuant to federal law, the university will conduct testing for alcohol and controlled substances on candidates and current employees for positions requiring a commercial driver’s license (CDL). The university may conduct alcohol and/or controlled substances testing on candidates and current employees whose positions require: (1) driving university owned/leased vehicles; and/or (2) whose positions are considered “safety sensitive”. Alcohol and/or controlled substance tests may be required in the following situations: pre-employment, reasonable suspicion of the use of alcohol and/or illegal drugs, post-accident, post-workplace injuries, and return-to-duty in safety-sensitive jobs following a violation of the Alcohol and Drug-Free Workplace Policy, and random tests.
Candidates applying for positions that require a commercial driver’s license (CDL) may be tested for alcohol and/or illegal controlled substances. Candidates would be asked to submit to testing only after an offer of employment has been made. The offer of employment, however, is conditioned on the candidate testing negative for illegal controlled substances.
Employees in positions requiring a commercial driver’s license (CDL) will be required to submit to testing for alcohol and/or controlled substances. Testing for alcohol and/or controlled substances may be performed at any time throughout employment. Employees who refuse to undergo testing or test positive will be removed from their positions and may be subject to corrective action, up to and including termination.
A certified lab will conduct testing for alcohol and/or controlled substances.
