Study Notes

Random Selection and Testing Process

  • A third-party company selects seven Fire Rescue personnel weekly for drug and alcohol testing.
  • The Deputy Chief of Administration or designee receives the list and communicates the individuals to be tested to the appropriate command staff via email.
  • Notification to selected personnel is conducted in person; no phone notifications are allowed.
  • The selected employee must use their personal vehicle for transportation to the testing facility, accompanied by a command staff member.

Testing Logistics

  • Selected employees carry a dedicated cell phone for accountability and continuity during the testing process.
  • Upon arrival at the testing facility, the employee must check in and follow testing instructions.
  • Post-accident testing is mandated in specific circumstances involving accidents.
  • Testing occurs if an employee's driving results in a fatality, an individual receiving medical treatment, or disabling damage to vehicles.

Post-Accident and Follow-Up Testing

  • If a post-accident PBT (Preliminary Breath Test) registers 0.04% or higher, further blood tests are required.
  • Employees cannot drive themselves after such results, and the Division Chief organizes accommodations.
  • Employees confirmed to have positive drug tests or entering rehabilitation programs must undergo follow-up drug tests quarterly for two years.

Random Drug Test Procedures

  • Testing occurs while personnel are on duty; if off duty, testing takes place during the next scheduled shift.
  • Night shift personnel are primarily tested at the beginning of their shift to ensure compliance.
  • A Department of Transportation-approved process is used for random selection, aiming to test 25% of personnel along with 50 for alcohol testing.
  • The third-party company must provide a Certificate of Service to confirm testing has been conducted.
