Q: What is the process when an employee fails a drug or alcohol test?
A: When an employee “fails” a drug or alcohol test, the result is called “positive.” Positive means that there was a prohibited amount of drug or alcohol detected or it may be that the donor adulterated or substituted the specimen. A failed test may also be if a donor failed to appear for a test, left the collection site prior to completion of the collection process, was uncooperative with the requirements during the collection process, or failed to provide enough urine without an adequate medical explanation. In all such cases, the individual will be made inactive in AADT’s random testing pools. Read more
