DNFSB employees or employment applicants in challenge to positive test
results; information supplied by individuals concerning alleged drug

Records are maintained on paper in file folders. Additionally,
records used for initiating a random drug test are maintained on the
Random Employee Selection Automation System. This is a stand-alone
system resident on an IBM PS/2 computer and is password-protected.
Records maintained in file folders are indexed and accessed by name
and social security number. Records maintained for random drug testing
are accessed by using a computer data base which contains employees'
names, social security numbers, and job titles. Employees are then
selected from the available pool by the computer, and a list is given
to the Drug Program Coordinator of employees and alternates selected
for drug testing.
Access to and use of these records is limited to those persons
whose official duties require such access, with records maintained and
used with the highest regard for personal privacy. Records in the
Division of Personnel are stored in an approved security container
under the immediate control of the Director, Division of Personnel, or
designee. Records in laboratory/collection/evaluation facilities will
be stored under appropriate security measures so that access is limited
and controlled.
(1) Test results, whether negative or positive, and other drug
screening records filed in the Division of Personnel will be retained
and retrieved as indicated under the Retrievability category. When an
individual terminates employment with the DNFSB, negative test results
will be destroyed by shredding, or by other approved disposal methods.
Positive test results will be maintained through the conclusion of any
administrative or judicial proceedings, at which time they will be
destroyed by shredding, or by other approved disposal methods.
(2) Test results, whether negative or positive, on file in
contractor testing laboratories, ordinarily will be maintained for a
minimum of two years in the laborators. Upon instructions provided by
the Division of Personnel, the results will be transferred to the
Division of Personnel when the contract is terminated or whenever an
individual, previously subjected to urinalysis by the laboratory,
terminates employment with the DNFSB. Records received from the
laboratories by the Division of Personnel will be incorporated into
other records in the system, or if the individual has terminated, those
records reflecting negative test results will be destroyed by
shredding, or by other approved disposal methods. Positive test results
will be maintained through the conclusion of any administrative or
judicial proceedings, at which time they will be destroyed by
shredding, or by other approved disposal methods.
(3) Negative specimens will be destroyed according to laboratory/
contractor procedures.
(4) Positive specimens will be maintained through the conclusion of
administrative or judicial proceedings.
