(A) Pre-employment testing. All applicants for employment by the city must submit to an alcohol and drug screen test.
(B) Work related accident. An employee who is involved in an accident while on duty or in the course of carrying out any business for or on behalf of the city will be tested for drugs and alcohol.
(C) Random testing. The city may, at its discretion, conduct random drug testing of employees at any time with or without cause or suspicion.
(D) Reasonable suspicion testing. A drug/alcohol test may be required upon reasonable suspicion of violation of the conduct herein set forth. Reasonable suspicion for requiring an employee to submit to drug and/or alcohol test shall be deemed to exist when an employee manifests physical or behavioral symptoms commonly attributed to the use of controlled substances or alcohol.
