Random Testina Rate Random testing is conducted at an annualized rate of 50%. The random testing rate during this six-month reporting period was 26.4% (719 random tests conducted with 2721 workers eligible for testing.)
Summary of Management Actions Suspensions based on presumptive positives: 0 Reportable events: 1 On August 19, 2002, a contractor supervisor was selected for a random drug and alcohol test. The individual tested positive for cocaine and marijuana. In accordance with NRC regulations and company policy, access was suspended and an incident report was processed, the Operations Superintendent was notified, and NRC notification was completed within the required 24-hour timeframe. A review of the employees work done prior to the test revealed no safety or reliability issues. This individual was referred to the Employee Assistance Program (EAP). This individual failed to contact EAP and was notified of permanent access denial September 12, 2002.
AppealsfResolutions During the time period July 1, 2002 to December 31, 2002 one appeal was resolved. This appeal did not result in a reversal of the original action.
One appeal resulted from an access denial based on a psychological determination of lack of trustworthiness and reliability.
Trends 1990 to Present Rare challenges to the accuracy and validity of Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) laboratory test results.
Current Reporting Period Observations During this reporting period, 44% of confirmed positive test results (7 tests) were attributed to marijuana use, 31% to cocaine use (5 tests), 6% to amphetamine use (1 test) and 19% to alcohol use (3 tests).
Of the confirmed alcohol positive tests, 67% (2 tests) were positive at the site cut off level (> 0.02%) and 33% (1 test) were positive at the NRC cut-off level (> 0.04%).
During this six-month period, 1 For-Cause (post accident) test yielded a negative test result.
During this six-month period, 8 For-Cause (observed behavior) tests yielded negative test results.
The random category confirmed positive rate for this six-month period was 0.3% (2 positives/719 individuals tested).
Recommendations
"* Eliminate the second breath alcohol test when the first is negative. Data from twelve years of breath alcohol testing demonstrates equipment sensitivity of 100% (second alcohol test has never been positive after the first breath test was negative.) Cost savings would be considerable.
"* Continue to permit /encourage on-site pre-screening.
"* Continue to move toward "interchangeability" and mutual acceptance among related Fitness for Duty programs (NRC, DOT, RSPA).
