Refusal to submit to the types of drug and alcohol tests employed by the town will be grounds for refusal to hire driver-applicants and to terminate 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. If a driver cannot provide a sufficient urine specimen or adequate breath, he/she will be evaluated by a physician of the town's choice. If the physician cannot find a legitimate medical explanation for the inability to provide a specimen (either urine or breath), it will be considered a refusal to test. In that circumstance, the driver has violated one of the prohibitions of the regulations.
