Within 14 days of performing a safety sensitive function, DOT regulations require that the village obtain certain drug and alcohol testing records from the safety sensitive employee's previous employers for the previous two years. The village will verify that no prior employer of the employee has records indicating a violation of any DOT rule pertaining to controlled substance or alcohol use within the previous two years. The village must also ensure that no prior employer of the new safety sensitive employee has knowledge or records of a violation of the DOT alcohol rules within the previous six months. As a condition of employment, the employee shall provide the village with a written authorization for all employers within the past two years to release such drug and alcohol testing records as the regulations require.
