position unless the employee takes a drug test with verified negative results. If an applicant for a safety-sensitive position fails a pre-employment drug test, the conditional offer of employment shall be rescinded. If an employee being placed, transferred, or promoted from a non-safety-sensitive position to a safety-sensitive position fails to pass a drug test, they shall be subject to disciplinary action up to and including discharge. If a test is cancelled, the applicant/employee will be required to re-test with a negative test result. A negative dilute test result on a pre-employment test will not require a re- test. When a covered employee or applicant has previously failed or refused a pre- employment drug test administered under this part, the employee must provide the employer proof of having successfully completed a referral, evaluation and treatment plan. Applicants are required to report the name and contact information for all DOT covered employers for the previous two (2) years. The applicant is required to provide a consent statement permitting the previous DOT covered employers to release drug and alcohol test results to the County. If more than 90 days have elapsed between the time of successfully completing pre- employment tests and the assignment of safety-sensitive duties, another pre- employment test will be required prior to the individual being assigned safety-sensitive duties. Safety-sensitive employees who have been off duty for 90 days or more for any reason, and have been out of the random pool, must successfully pass a pre-employment drug test prior to the performance of a safety-sensitive function.
