Covered drivers include University of Iowa faculty, staff, students and volunteers performing safety-sensitive functions requiring the operation of a commercial motor vehicle as defined by 49 CFR part 40 and 382.
Required tests include pre-employment/pre-duty, reasonable suspicion, random, post-accident, and return-to-duty.
All applicants (new hire or transfer) for positions covered under this testing program must be notified in writing that passing a drug test is a condition of employment. In addition, the university is required to obtain information on the selected applicant’s positive alcohol and drug testing results for the preceding two years. Because this information can be obtained only with the written consent of the applicant, the consent becomes a condition of employment.
An offer of employment must be conditional based upon verification of previous testing results and passing a drug test.
