How the SNAP Drug Testing Program Works
All covered employees are required to take a baseline drug test. Bargaining unit workers must have passed an initial baseline test before they are eligible for dispatch and will be issued testing forms and instructions when registering with the local union. If the test is negative (passed), the employer will be notified and the employee’s status (o.k. to work) will be entered into a confidential database by the program administrator. If a worker switches employment, the new employer must check with the program administrator to determine that the worker is still in good standing in the program to avoid another test. The program administrator can now track by computer where each participant is currently employed.
Each month, the program administrator uses a computer to lottery select a small percentage of workers for testing. Workers’ names are matched to the company where they are currently working. The program administrator confidentially notifies a pre-designated employer representative at each company that certain workers have been selected. Each worker must then go to a designated collection site for a drug test within 24 hours of notification.
All test results are confidentially tracked by only the SNAP program administrator to insure compliance with program rules. All collections are performed by trained personnel following the Department of Transportation protocols and guidelines for workplace drug testing.
All drug analysis is performed in laboratories certified by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
All alcohol testing is performed and/or confirmed by evidential breath testing devices approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
All drug tests are reviewed by an independent, certified Medical Review Officer (MRO) before verified results may be reported to the designated employer representative. This gives the employee a chance to explain a valid reason for a positive test, for example, prescription drugs. The MRO will act as a vital screen to assure that management is not notified of a positive result on a drug test until the MRO is satisfied that it resulted from illegal drug use. Each employer has a designated employer representative to coordinate substance abuse and drug testing issues. This individual has received training on program administration, substance abuse and chemical dependency, drug and alcohol testing, the proper use of employee assistance programs and confidentiality requirements. Positive tests will be treated confidentially by the employer.
