How Does random Testing Work?

Employers are responsible for conducting random, unannounced drug testing. The total number conducted each year must equal at least 50% of safety-sensitive drivers. Some drivers may be teted more than once each year, some may not be tested at all depending on the random selection. Random testing for drugs does not have to be conducted in immediate time proximity to performing safety-sensitive (driving) functions. The employer can notify the employee of the random selection for him/her to be tested at any time,in other words, the driver does not have to be on duty when notified he/she must take a test. Once notified of the selection for testing, however, the driver must proceed immediately to a collection site to accomplish the urine specimen collection.
