16 To do drug and alcohol testing, and we .do 17 the access, the processing in of all new employees and 18 contractor employees, and we also do the respirator 19 fit exams for different locations at PSEG.

20 I have the disability process and 21 monitoring those employees on restrictions, permanent 22 and temporary. Following those cases. Immunizations 23 that are needed. *Just whatever is needed in the 24 medical field.

25 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay. Are you the NEAL R. GROSS t IOl5 COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE.. N.W.

9 1 only nurse that is here?

2 At this time, yes.

3 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Now , is 4 the individual that we are talking about. Do you know 5 L and would you kno by sight i

• came into 6 the office here?

7 Probably not. They all 8 look alike.

9 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay. What got us 10 here was that back in the summer -- and I explained 11 this before we went on the record, but for purposes of 12 the transcript, is that back in the summer of 2002, 13 around August of 2002, aw and his supervisor, n 14 _were having a disagreement ove taking 15 a TARP assignment.

16 It is an extra duty along withfFsenior 17 engineer responsibilities, and *at one point on a 18 Friday afterno_ suggested that o 19 home on what characterized as a decision making 20 leave. It is a paid leave, and to make sure that you 21 understand the consequences of not accepting a job 22 assignment.

23 That was on a Friday. ntent was 24 to have ar eturn to work the following Monday, and 25 discuss the situation.. ended up taking an entire NEAL R. GROSS COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W. 0

10 1 week off, Monday through Friday of. that week in 2 August, because of hings over this 3 disagreement.

4 And whe( came to the NRC just back 5 again in September of this year, 0 sent a couple of 6 e-mails, which we looked at before we went on the 7 record, and that is how I got back to you. There was 8 one specifically that is dated August 26th, 2002, to 9 you.

10 And you had indicated that it wa 11 example was characterized as a return to work exam, 12 versus a fitness for duty kind of thing. So if you 13 could explain what a return to work exam is, and-how 14 one would have to have that in order to return to the 15 site.

16 - A return to work exam is 17 done when an employee has been off work ill, and he 18 has returned to work, or he has been off work ill for 19 less than 5 days.

20 It is broken up into two different 21 categories at this point. There is a policy for 22 employees who are out of work for over 5 days. Those 23 employees are in the disability program.

24 *Foremployees who are out of work ill for 25 less than 5 days, to return to work, they have a note NEAL R. GROSS COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE.. N.W.

11 1 from their family physician that they can return to 2 work with the following restrictions, whatever those 3 restrictions are.

4 The supervisor sends that employee to 5 medical for an evaluation and to -- regarding the 6 physical capabilities, and regarding those specific 7 restrictions, and if there is a return to work date on 8 the note, and whatever the diagnosis is.

9 And all of that and then the employee is 10 then evaluated. We see the employee, and we are back 11 in touch with the supervisor after we have spoken with 12 the employee. We do not give out any diagnosis.

13 But if there are restrictions they are listed.

14 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay.

15 We are very specific with 16 restrictions, and that is also included, how long 17 those restrictions will be in effect. Also, some of 18 the questions that you might ask of the employee is if 19 they are taking any medications.

20 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Now, you were 21 talking about the employee has to bring in a note.

22 Right..

23 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Would your file 24 have a note?

25 Well, another thing to look NEAL R. GROSS I. )JUlag>

COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE.. N.W.

12 1 at is when an employee is on a medication, the 2 employees are to report those medications to their 3 supervisors.

4 This is -- if the supervisor has a 5 question regarding the medications -- for instance, 6 they don't know what the medication is, or they are 7 concerned with side effects, they can call and they 8 do, call medical for help with this. That is done 9 frequently.

10 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay. Now, in the 11 case of does fIave a return to work letter?

12 Well, based on what my 13 notes are here, was sent over here from 14 supervisor. 6 resented to medical, and/r stated 15 that supervisor was requesting a evaluation to 16 clarify restrictions on medical use.

17 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay. What is the 18 date on that document that you are looking at?

19 This is August 22nd, 2002.

20 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: August 22, 2002.

21 And that is from 22 SPECIAL-AGENT MONROE: No, this is -- the 23 request is from o 24 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Yes.

25 The request was given to us NEAL R. GROSS COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBER 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W.

13 1 It was verbal. *was at the window and 2 ad staed that i supervisor sentlaver here 3 for this.

4 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay. I 5 understand.

6 In talking wit"A_, we 7 found out the medication that

• was on, and the side 8 effects from that. Based on that, then W was seen 9 by our doctor here, Dr. Stewart Solomon, that same 10 day.

11 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay. Now, the 12 medications that t as on, did that place any kind of 13 restriction on could do as far as --

14 re are restrictions 15 regarding the medication that is on.

16 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Now, you are 17 looking at an e-mail?

18 Yes.

19 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Now, those 20 restrictions, were they placed or/m by 21 personal physician or by Dr. Solomon, who had 22 evaluated 23 The restrictions are, 24 because of'the side effects that you would see from 25 the medication.

NEAL R. GROSS COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W.

14 I SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay.

2 An e-mail was sent to 3 supervisor that on -- an e-mail was sent by myself, 4 and was seen by the doctor, and our doctor 5 requested further evaluation.

6 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: And who would that 7 be done by, that further evaluation?

8 Dr. Solomon had requested 9 thatt^see another company doctor here, a Dr.

10 Binetti.

11 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay. And what was 12 the purpose of that further evaluation?

13 It was regarding the 14 medication use. An e-mail was sent to i 15 supervisor stating the side effects of the medication, 16 and based on those side effects, the restrictions that 17 hould be on, and things that

• should not do.

18 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay. And you are 19 referring to the August 26th, 2002 e-mail?

20 Yes.

21 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: And I will just 22 read it in. "As per your request, the above-mentioned 23 employee has been evaluated today in the nuclear 24 medicine department. As a result of that evaluation, 25 it has been revealed that

• is taking medication in NEAL R.GROSS n7C1 COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRI3ERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W.

15 1 the evening hours.",

2 "This medication usually may produce the 3 side effects of sedation and drowsiness. The side 4 effects are noted and the employee is working in a 5 safety sensitive work position. You may wish to 6 reassigr (to a non-safety sensitive position. It 7 is recommended that the employee not perform call-out 8 while on the medication. If you have any further 9 medication questions, please contact the nuclear 10 medicine department."

11 Did you receive any more questions from.

12 after you sent this e-mail with 13 respect to how long the restrictions would be in 14 place?

15 No, I don't believe so.

16 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay. And does the 17 company physician, do they put -- you know, is this an 18 open-ended restriction for as long as the individual 19 is on the medication, or wouldf come back to be 20 reevaluated? How does that work?

21 No, once the employee is on 22 a medication, and it is different for licensed 23 operators and armed guards. So we are not talking 24 about them.

25 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay. Sure.

CUNEAL Rf R.AGROSS COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBER )S 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE.. N.W. I

16 1 , Normally when an employee 2 is on a medication, they do not have to keep notifying 3 us. for this type of thing. The employee's 4 responsibility is to notify supervisor that-is 5 on this medication. This is separate from a fitness 6 for duty issue.

7 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay..

8 That is a separate issue.

9 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: And how does it 10 differ from a fitness for duty if you don't mind 11 explaining?

12 What I am looking at for a 13 fitness for duty issue, the only notification we would 14 have is if the employee was called over for a random 15 test, at that time hle fills out a consent listing 16 whatever medications he has had within the past 30 17 days.

18 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay.

19 That is the only time that 20 medical is actually notified of a medication use.

21 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: .I see. Okay.

22 It is nothing that -- each 23 employee does not have to tell medical every time they 24 are taking a medication; only when they are called for 25 fitness for duty. .

NEAL R. GROSS '

17 1 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay.

2 They notify their 3 supervisor and then the supervisor will question us if 4 they have any questions concerning that.

5 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay. From August 6 26th, 2002 until this date, do you have any more e-7 mails or any more communication wit 8 Well, after that date, our 9 doctor requested further information from _

10 physician, and we had sent a letter to s physician.

11 Now, was evaluated by our-12 department, Dr. Binetti, when was on the 13 medication.

14 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: All right.. I have 15 a letter to a Dr. Szeto, dated October 1st.

16 That's _ octor, and 17 that letter was sent to;* doctor as you can see 18 requesting a diagnosis and treatment plan, and 19 medication prescribed, frequency of the medication 20 used prescribed, and an estimated duration of medicine 21 therapy.

22 - SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: And did Dr. Szeto 23 respond back?

24 We did not get a response 25 until February.

NEAL R. GROSS COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W.

18 1 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay.

2 February 10th, 2003.

3 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: And what was the 4 response?

5 The response was sent to 6 Dr. Solomon and it --

7 MR. KEENAN: Did it contain medical 8 information that might be sensitive?

9 3 Yes.

10 MR. KEENAN: So why don't we rephrase.

11 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Yes. The specific 12 area that I am interested in is that fourth bullet 13 that was in your letter with respect to estimate 14 duration of medicine therapy. Did he address how long is5 __

16 Yes, he did.

17 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay. And how 18 long?

19 Undetermined.

20 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Undetermined.

21 Okay. All right. The first three gets into 'the 22 specific medical issues, and I don't need that, and so 23 it is just undetermined. Okay. What happens then 24 after this October -- or after your February 10th, 25 2003 response from Dr. Szeto?

NEAL R. GROSS COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W.

19 1 rThere is nothing more that 2 medical would do with this. This is a normal side 3 effect with the medication, and it is not anything 4 that we would follow.

5 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay. Now, I have 6 a February 13th, 2003 e-mail to Dr. Solomon frori_

7 oDD you have that in your file?

8 I have a January 29th, 9 2003.

10 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay. What is that 11 one?

12 No, I don't have anything 13 in February.

14 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE:* What is your 15 January 2003 e-mail talk about?

16 It is where has asked 17 if we had received the information fron doctor, 18 . and we hadn't. I 19 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay. And then 20 writes back February 13th, and-p has a handwritten 21 thing here. "I had a meeting with PSEG medical at 22 about this time, February 2003, and discussed a letter 23 that they receiVed from my physician, Dr. Szeto.

24 David Braun was involved in these activities." I 25 thinkl is just putting some time frame on that.

NEAL R. GROSS QC, COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE.. N.W.

20 1 Now, I have another one dated August 25th, 2 2003, and actually the original message was August 3 11th, 2003, and we talked about that earlier.

4 ~ Right.<Jais just stating 5 that ^ is still taking this medication and thatl*

6 will still have these side effects.

7 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay. So N is 8 just tellin hat?

9 Yes, that is the way that 10 this looks to me.

11 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay.

12 And there is nothing that 13 we would review. This is an employee who is taking a 14 medication. There is nothing that we would review 15 really.

16 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Becaus cL s just 17 keepingx supervisor in the loop with respect to the 18 medication tha t is on.

19 That's how I take it, and 20 s doing what s supposed to do. That is how it 21 looks to me.

22 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay. So there is 23 no requirement fo to be reevaluated periodically 24 when is on this medicine?

25 No, there was not.

NEAL R. GROSS COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE JSLAND AVE., N.W.

21 1 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay. Is there 2 anything else in your file which respect to more e-3 mail communications from either orTAW 4 2 5 To the best of my 6 knowledge, I have never received any contact, any e-7 mails from supervisor directly about the 8 medication. The only thing we have is from MCI 9 stating that supervisor needs to review this.'

10 I don't know whether Dr. Solomon has. I 11 don't know.

12 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: And once is 13 off the medication, what is the process here? Is 14 supposed to inform his supervisor of that fact?

15 - No.

16 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: So I don't know if 17 you are the best one to testify to this, but if Wis 18 on a medication that causes

• to be drowsy which 19 could impact his work -

20 as the responsibility 21 to let supervisor know that is taking that 22 medication.

23 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay. But N does 24 not have to le no whenois finished with it?

25 Correct. It may be NEAL R. GROSS E to16 COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS l 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W.

22 1 ongoing. Depending on the medication, it could be a 2 short term medication, or it could be a long term 3 medication.

4 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Without discussing 5 the name of the medication, would you know if this is 6 a long term or short term that he is on just by your 7 training?

8 It depends on too many 9 variables.

10 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay.

11 Ilion___ It could go either way.

12 SPECIAL AGENT MONROE: Okay. I don't have 13 any other questions. Is there something that you want 14 to put in or clarify? Let's go off the record for one 15 minute just to collect our thoughts.
