If a breath alcohol test cannot be conducted within 8 hours of the incident, or a test for Unauthorized and Unlawful Substances, excluding alcohol, cannot be conducted within 32 hours of the incident, the Employee may be referred to Human Resources for an assessment by a SAP, with the Employee's consent, and the Manager must provide Human Resources with the reason why the test could not be completed; g) Employees referred for a test will only be those who had a reasonable possibility of being involved in relation to the incident; h) Employees to be tested must not use Unauthorized or Unlawful Substances, including Alcoholic Beverages, until after the test has been completed; i) Failure to report a significant work-related incident or high potential incident is a violation of this Policy and will constitute grounds for discipline.
