• In an effort to provide maximum convenience, the
  list of sites is regularly updated. You are
  encouraged to check the website to ensure you
  have the most current information.

32
Providers

• Collection Sites
• When sending a participant to a collection site,
  provide them with a completed Test Authorization
  form or Chain of Custody, and a list of
  collection sites they may use. Encourage the
  participant to put the last four digits of their
  Social Security Number, at a minimum, on the
  paperwork they complete at the collection site.
  Without this information, the TPA may not be able
  to accurately identify each participant and issue
  their program card, provided the results are
  negative.
• To ensure the participant has tested, you may ask
  to see a copy of their Chain of Custody form when
  they return from the collection.

33
Providers

• Testing Laboratory
• After specimens are collected, they are couriered
  to the testing laboratory. They are given an
  initial test which may be adequate to determine
  negative results. If this is the case, the
  results are usually available the day after the
  collection has been taken.
• You will not be notified if the test results are
  negative, but you can call CleanWorkForce for
  results.
• Some specimens may need to be sent for a
  confirmation test which will require an
  additional 24-48 hours. This additional test
  does not necessarily mean that the result will be
  positive.
• If the laboratory finds the specimen to be
  positive, it is referred to the laboratory as an
  unverified positive test result.
• All test results for DOT regulated participants,
  including negative results, must be reviewed by
  the Medical Review Officer (MRO) and may require
  additional time to be reported.

34
Providers

• Medical Review Officer (MRO)
• When unverified positive test are results
  referred to the MRO, CleanWorkForce will contact
  the Designated Employer Representative and
  request that the donor call the MRO.
• The MRO will interview the donor and determine if
  the test results are due to an acceptable action
  on the part of the donor or are the results of
  use of a substance prohibited by the AKCISAP.
  After that interview, the MRO will notify
  CleanWorkForce and confirm a negative or positive
  test result.
• The Designated Employer Representative will be
  notified immediately whether or not the
  participant is in compliance.
• For DOT regulated participants, the MRO will
  contact them directly using the phone number
  provided by the donor on the Chain of Custody
  form.

35
Providers

• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Substance Abuse Professional (SAP)
• If a participant becomes out of compliance and
  wishes to regain his or her eligibility to work,
  he or she may contact the EAP or SAP for initial
  assessment and referral, if necessary.
• The EAP or SAP will determine when the
  participant is in compliance with the program and
  eligible to return to work.
• CleanWorkForce will notify you when the employee
  regains his or her compliant status.
• The participant may be subject to follow-up tests
  and educational classes and/or treatment as
  prescribed by the EAP or SAP.

36
Employer Action for an Out of Compliance Test
Result

• A participant with a positive test result shall
  be suspended from employment and must participate
  in the education, counseling, or rehabilitation
  prescribed by the EAP or SAP in order to return
  to work. Any positive test result may result in
  disciplinary action prescribed by the Employers
  policy.
• A participant with a subsequent positive test
  will be immediately terminated and not subject to
  future hire until they have successfully
  completed education, counseling, or
  rehabilitation as prescribed by the EAP or SAP at
