New Procedures for
Notification for Drug and Alcohol Testing at US Airways
Recently a change has taken place of the notification system for DOT/random
testing of drug and alcohol. Since the government ruling of DOT/random
testing the notification came with the collector holding a white envelope,
personally asking the flight attendant their name, then handing over that
envelope to the flight attendant who was to be tested, with the name of the
flight attendant who was subjected to a test, boldly written on it on that
envelope. Once the flight attendant was in receivership of the envelope by
the collector, the flight attendant would then proceed to the designated
site.
Barbara Jackson, Manager, Drug and Alcohol Department-US Airways, Inc.
stated that the envelopes are no longer being used; however, the collector
will notify the "A" flight attendant to verify the flight attendant is
finished with his/her duties and comes off the aircraft. At that time the
collector verifies the identify of the flight attendant and then gives them
notification. The flight attendant should sign the notification sheet and
then proceed to the collection site for testing. All notifications must be
made in person by the collector. Again, all notifications MUST be made in
person by the collector!
Please either e-mail or call me should there be any variations to the above
procedure!
