(A) Refusal to submit to the types of drug and alcohol tests employed by the city will be grounds for refusal to hire driver/applicants and to terminate the employment of existing drivers. A REFUSAL TO TEST is defined to be conduct which would obstruct the proper administration of a test. A delay in providing a urine or breath specimen could be considered a refusal.
(B) If a driver cannot provide a sufficient urine specimen or adequate breath, then he or she will be evaluated by a physician of the city’s choice. If the physician cannot find a legitimate medical explanation for the inability to provide a specimen, either urine or breath, then it will be considered a refusal to test. In that circumstance, the driver has violated one of the prohibitions of this subchapter.
