Recommended drug screen components and cut-off levels
The present recommended Drug Screen Components and Cut-Off Levels are listed below for your convenience. In addition to these levels and substances the creatinine level and specific gravity of the specimen will be measured. If the Creatinine is less than 20 ml/dl and the Specific Gravity is less than 1.003, the sample will be considered dilute and another collection will be required. The second sample will be requested to be collected the following morning from the time of notification of a diluted sample. Those samples containing adulterants or considered substituted as determined by the lab will be considered test positives.

ALCOHOL TESTING LEVELS
All alcohol test results with a confirmation test BAC level of .04 or higher will be considered positive and will require the employee/worker to be removed from owner property immediately. This result will also invalidate the employee/workers current COATS card and the individual will have to complete the required program of rehabilitation outlined by this policy to become eligible for a COATS card again.
All alcohol test results with a confirmation test BAC level of .020 through .039 will require the worker/employee to be removed from the owner site for twenty-four (24) hours or until his/her next scheduled on-duty time, whichever is longer. Additional sanctions regarding this level will be left to owner and/or contractor.
