SUMMARY
OF MANAGEMENT ACTIONS Suspensions based on presumptive positives:
o Reportable events:
3 During the time period of July 1, 1993 to December 31, 1993, there were three reportable events.
+
on 9/8/93 during the pre-access testing process, a contractor supervisor tested at a BAC level less than
.04%.
It was determined by extrapolation that the BAC would have been.07% at the start of his workshift.
The MRO made an unfitness determination, and plant access was denied.
PSE&G reported an incident involving alcohol use by a contractor supervisor.
+
On 11/1/93, a PSE&G maintenance supervisor underwent a pre-access drug and alcohol test as part of a return to work physical examination (due to illness).
The HHS laboratory confirmed a positive cocaine result on 11/4/93.
Plant access was denied, and PSE&G reported an incident involving drug use by a maintenance supervisor.
The subject was immediately referred to the Nuclear EAP counsellor for evaluation.
+
On 11/26/93, a PSE&G training supervisor was called for random testing.
aAC level tested at less than.04%.
It was determined by extrapolation that the BAC would have been ~.04% at the start of his workshift.
The MRO made an unfitness determination and plant access was suspended.
PSE&G reported an incident involving alcohol use by a training supervisor.
The subject was immediately ref erred to the Nuclear EAP counsellor for evaluation.
Appeals/Resolutions:
During the time period July 1, 1993 to December 31, 1993, fourteen appeals have been resolved.
Two appeals resulted in reversal of original action.
+
Two fitness for duty appeals involved.claims that over the counter medications caused or contributed to positive drug and alcohol test results.
+
Three fitness for duty appeals involved claims that other factors relative to the circumstances of the cases should be taken into consideration.
+
One fitness for duty appeal resulted from a determination of "failure to cooperate" wherein an individual refused to complete the testing process.
+
Two fitness for duty appeals involved positive breath alcohol tests where individuals claimed to be unaware of the fitness for duty policy.
ATTACHMENT A
SUMMARY
OF MANAGEMENT ACTIONS
+
Two psychological appeals were the result of access denials based on histories of prior, as well as current alcohol and drug use.
+
Two appeals resulted from access denial based on psychological determinations of lack of trustworthiness and reliability.
+
Two appeals resulted from access denials based on security determinations of lack of trustworthiness and reliability.
Identification of Program Weaknesses and Actions Taken Weakness:
It was not always possible to ensure that all incoming employees were made aware of the requirements/expectations of the Fitness For Duty Program during pre-outage orientation.
Actions Taken:
A Fitness For Duty Program notice which outlines requirements/expectations has been attached to the Medical History form.
This form will be given to all incoming employees before the orientation session begins, and must be acknowledged by signature.
Trends:
1990 to Present
+
Opiates:
No MRO positives since the Fitness For Duty rule went into effect.
+
THC:
Using a cut-off of 50 ng/ml has continued to result in the identification of approximately twice as many confirmed positives than if the NRC cut-off of 100 ng/ml was used.
+
Fewer challenges to the accuracy and validity of HHS laboratory test results.
+
Increase in cocaine positives in the second half of 1993 from 6 positives (January 1 - June 30, 1993, to 23 positives (July 1 - December 31, 1993).
Recommendations:
+
Eliminate the second breath alcohol test when the first test is negative.
After greater than 56,000 breath tests, equipment sensitivity of 100% has been demonstrated [second breath test has never been positive after the first breath test was negative].
Cost savings over months to years would be considerable.
ATTACHMENT A
SUMMARY
OF MANAGEMENT ACTIONS
+
Consider moving toward "zero tolerance" for alcohol.
As a minimum include alcohol, under statutory sanctions.
+
Continue to permit/encourage on-site pre-screening.
