§ 284.4067. Screening tests: Requirements for administration; use; results

1. A screening test: (a) To detect the general presence of a controlled substance or any other drug, must

be conducted by an independent laboratory that is certified by the United States Department

of Health and Human Services. (b) To detect the general presence of alcohol or of a controlled substance or any

other drug, must be administered in such a manner as to protect the person tested

from any unnecessary embarrassment. 2. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, a sample provided for use in a screening

test must not be used for any test or purpose without the prior written consent of

the person providing the sample. The appointing authority shall ensure that the person retains possession and control

of the person's sample until it is appropriately tagged and sealed with tamper-proof

tape. 3. If the results of a screening test indicate the presence of any drug which could

impair the ability of a person to perform the duties of employment safely and efficiently: (a) The laboratory shall conduct another test of the same sample to ascertain the

specific substances and concentration of those substances in the sample; and (b) The appointing authority shall provide the person tested with an opportunity to

have the same sample tested at the person's expense by a laboratory of the person's

choice certified by the United States Department of Health and Human Services.
