PUBLIC SERVICE ELECTRIC & GAS COMPANY NUCLEAR DEPARTMENT I MEDICAL FITNESS-FOR-DUTY STATISTICS REPORT POSITIVE TEST
SUMMARY
BY SUBSTANCE FOR PERIOD: 07/01/94 THRU 12/31/94 SUBSTANCE OCCURRENCES COCAINE 11 ALCOHOL: BAC > .04 2 MARIJUANA 13 *** TOTAL *** 26 PAGE I
SUMMARY
OF MANAGEMENT ACTIONS Suspensions based on presumptive positives:
0 Reportable events: 0 Appeals/Resolutions:
During the time period July 1, 1994 to December 31, 1994, eleven appeals have been resolved.
No appeal's resulted in reversal of original action.
- Two fitness-for-duty appeals involved claims that over the counter medications or food products contributed to positive drug and alcohol test results.
- Five appeals resulted from access denials based on security determinations of lack of trustworthiness and reliability.
- Two psychological appeals were the result of access denials based on histories of prior, as well as current, alcohol and drug use.
- One psychological appeal resulted from the determination that drug rehabilitation requirements had not been adequately met.
- One fitness-for-duty appeal involved an allegation that a procedural error occurred during the positive test result notification process. Trends: 1990 to Present o Opiates: No MR_O positives since the Fitness-For-Duty rule went into effect. o *PCP: No postives for the second consecutive year. o Rare challenges to the accuracy and validity of HHS laboratory test results. Recommendations:
o Eliminate the second breath alcohol test when the first test is negative.
After greater than 70,000 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.
AIWA designed and is implementing a program with only one breath alcohol screen. o Continue to permit/encourage on-site pre-screening.
o Consider moving toward "interchangeability" and mutual acceptance among regulated Fitness-For-Duty programs INRC, DOT, RSPA).
Comments:
This six month reporting period concludes the first year in which random testing was conducted at the reduced rate of 50% of the actively-badged population.
