§40.43 What steps must operators of collection sites take to protect the security and integrity of urine collections?

Also applies to:

• §40.193 What happens when an employee does not provide a sufficient amount of urine for a drug test

Question: Generally, only one collector is supposed to supervise a collection for an employee. However, given the time span involved, it is possible that two collectors could be involved in a shy bladder collection (e.g., because of a shift change during the three-hour period between the first and second collection attempts). How should this be handled?

Answer:

• In this situation, it is permissible for one collector to turn the process over to another collector to complete the collection.
• The first collector would document the start time for the 3-hour period. The second would provide his or her name and signature after the second collection, as the collector of record. The Remarks line (Step 2 of the CCF) would be used to document the transition (including the first collector’s name and the start time for the shy bladder procedure).
