employee is responsible for the accident” but must have an identified reason in Section B that identifies the reason that the employee is culpable . For example an employee may be at fault because he fell down a flight of stairs but if the company failed to put out signs identifying that the floor was wet, the employee is not culpable and should not be drug tested. Question 2 asks if the employee was the victim in the incident. If the answer is yes, unless the employee is exhibiting behavior or characteristics that would warrant reasonable suspicion testing, the form is complete for that employee. Supervision should sign and date the form and return it to the ESS manager or HRBP, depending on individual bakery policies. Section B: Factors Contributing to the Accident. This section attempts to identify whether or not the accident/injury could likely have been caused by being under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Section C: Is There Likelihood that Drugs or Alcohol Contributed to this Accident. If there is no Group B reason checked, the answer to this question is “no” and post-accident drug and alcohol testing is not warranted. Sections D and E: Observed Behavior and Physical Signs and Symptoms. Because of the way THC/marijuana metabolizes in the human body, a positive test for marijuana only indicates whether or not an individual has smoked marijuana within the last 30 days. A positive test for marijuana does not indicate whether or not someone was under the influence of marijuana at the time of the accident. To that end, sections D and E only provide behavioral or physical characteristics of marijuana. The immediate supervisors documenting these characteristics should make no recommendations. The HRBP should train bakery senior management, the HR Department, and the highest level of management on each shift to know when a marijuana test is or is not required. This should NOT be communicated to the supervisors. If there are no observed behavioral or physical characteristics of marijuana observed , an employee who is culpable in the incident or accident should be tested for:

1. Alcohol; 2. Amphetamines; 3. Cocaine; 4. Opioids, including heroin; 5. Phencyclidine (PCP).

If behavioral or physical characteristics of marijuana are observed , an employee who is culpable in the incident or accident should be tested for:

1. Alcohol; 2. Amphetamines; 3. Cocaine; 4. Opioids, including heroin;

5. Marijuana/THC; and 6. Phencyclidine (PCP).
