Control of Drug Use and Alcohol Misuse in Natural Gas, Liquefied Natural Gas, and Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Operations Alcohol Misuse Prevention Program

Résumé

RSPA has received and evaluated the 1995 Management Information System(MIS) Data Collection forms for the drug testing of pipeline industry personnel. The RSPA determined that the random positive drug testing rate for pipeline industry for the period of January 1, 1995, through December 31, 1995, was 0.8 percent. Since this is the second year that data has been collected and the random positive rate for the second year is less than 1 percent, the random testing rate for RSPA is being reduced from 50 percent to 25 percent for calendar year 1997. This means that for calendar year 1997, the operator must randomly select a minimum 25 percent of their covered employees to be tested.
