Description of the Event
On February 18, 2003 a contractor carpenter (employed by Day Zimmerman NPS) applying for unescorted access revealed a previous positive drug test for marijuana when he applied for a job at a local hospital in 1998. This information was disclosed on a personal history questionnaire form. The contractor had previously been badged at St. Lucie from September 24 through 26, 2002 and had not divulged the positive drug test result. A review of the personal history questionnaire form from this period did not reveal the positive chemical test. Had the individual revealed the previous positive drug test his access would have been denied. In 2002 the individual was badged for protected area access only and did not enter any vital areas. On February 18, 2003, the individual was denied unescorted access and did not enter the protected area.
Analysis of the Event
A review of the event revealed that had the individual not disclosed the previous chemical test this information would not have been revealed during the background investigation. The individual submitted to pre-access chemical testing on September 13, 2002 and February 18, 2003 with negative results. The safety significance of this situation was determined to be low due to the fact the individual was not granted vital area access during the September 2002 time period.
Corrective Actions
The individual was denied plant access upon disclosure of the positive chemical test.
