Any covered employee subject to testing under the requirements of 49 C.F.R. part 382 or this policy and procedures must submit to being tested for alcohol and/or controlled substances immediately, or as soon as possible, upon notification to do so by his or her supervisor or other designated employer representative. Failure to immediately report for a test will, in most cases, result in the driver being deemed as refusing to submit which carries the same consequences as a positive controlled substances test or an alcohol test with a concentration of 0.04% or greater. In most cases, refusals to be tested will result in immediate termination.
