11 revoked to Rail Safety (Alcohol and Drug Testing) Regulations 2008 Prescribed oral advice in relation to drug screening test, oral fluid analysis, blood test or urine test Schedule 2 3 Oral advice on refusal or failure to comply with blood test direction in connection with alcohol testing: clause 5(8)(b)(ii)(C) of Schedule 2 of the Act It is a criminal offence to refuse or fail to provide a sample of blood in connection with alcohol testing without good cause and you could be fined as a consequence. It is a defence if you have some physical or medical condition that prevents you from providing a sample of blood, but only if you ask for a sample of your breath to be taken instead. If you want a sample of your breath to be taken because of your condition, you should ask for that and the authorised person will help you to have the sample taken. Schedule 3 Prescribed oral advice and written notice Part 1 Prescribed oral advice for purposes of clause 15(5)(a) of Schedule 2 of Rail Safety Act 2007 The breathalyser reading just taken shows that you had a prohibited level of alcohol in your blood. Therefore it appears that you have committed an offence against section 71(4) of the Act. In any court proceedings for that offence, it will be presumed that the breathalyser accurately indicated your blood alcohol level at the time of the reading and for the preceding 2 hours. However, the Rail Safety Act 2007 allows for contrary evidence based on the results of a blood test. If you want to have such a blood test you will have to make your own arrangements and follow certain procedures, using a special blood test kit. This blood test kit will be supplied to you on your signing a written request. If you obtain a blood test kit and want to have your blood tested, you should take the kit promptly to a hospital or medical practitioner in order to have a sample of your blood taken. [*Alternatively, you may have the sample taken by a registered nurse.] You must not consume any more alcohol before having the sample of your blood taken and must not open the blood test kit before delivering it to a medical practitioner [*or registered nurse]. Under the blood test procedure, the sample of blood is divided and sealed in 2 containers. You will have to sign a form that will be given to you by the medical practitioner [*or registered nurse]. 1 of the sealed containers will be given to you and you may make your own arrangements to have the blood in that container analysed. In any event, the blood in the other container will be analysed by Forensic Science SA and you will be given written notice of the results of the analysis. Further information as to these matters is contained in the written notice which will be delivered to you shortly. *Advice as to the alternative of a registered nurse is to be given only if the breath analysis was conducted outside Metropolitan Adelaide.

12 Rail Safety (Alcohol and Drug Testing) Regulations to revoked Schedule 3 Prescribed oral advice and written notice Part 2 Prescribed written notice for the purposes of clause 15(5)(a) of Schedule 2 of the Rail Safety Act 2007 Operation of Rail Safety Act 2007 in relation to results of breath analysis 1 Offence A rail safety worker commits an offence against section 71(4) of the Rail Safety Act 2007 if the worker carries out, or attempts to carry out, rail safety work while (a) (b) 2 Breath analysis there is present in his or her blood the prescribed concentration of alcohol (as defined in regulation 4 of the Rail Safety (Alcohol and Drug Testing) Regulations 2008); or so much under the influence of alcohol as to be incapable of effectively discharging a function or duty of a rail safety worker. Your breath has just been analysed by the means of a breath analysing instrument which indicated that the prescribed concentration of alcohol was present in your blood. Accordingly, it appears that you have committed the offence described above. 3 Legal effect of breath analysis result In proceedings for the offence described above, the result of the breath analysis will be presumed to accurately record the concentration of alcohol in your blood at the time of the analysis and throughout the preceding 2 hours (clause 15(1) of Schedule 2 of the Rail Safety Act 2007). In any proceedings against you for such an offence, you will be able to challenge the accuracy of the breath analysis reading (a) if you have a sample of your blood taken and analysed as described below; and (b) if the result of analysis of the blood sample shows that the breath analysing instrument gave an exaggerated reading of the concentration of alcohol present in your blood (clause 15(2) of Schedule 2 of the Rail Safety Act 2007). 4 Procedures for optional blood test (1) You may have a sample of your blood taken and analysed if you wish. (2) For that purpose, you must request the breath analysis operator to supply you with an approved blood test kit (you must sign a written request form for the kit and should retain a copy of the signed request form). (3) You should then proceed promptly to a hospital or a medical practitioner [*or a registered nurse] of your choice and request that a sample of your blood be taken (using the blood test kit). (4) Do not consume any further alcohol before the sample is taken. (5) Do not open the blood test kit. 12 This version is not published under the Legislation Revision and Publication Act 2002 [ ]
13 revoked to Rail Safety (Alcohol and Drug Testing) Regulations 2008 Prescribed oral advice and written notice Schedule 3 (6) The medical practitioner [*or registered nurse] taking the sample of your blood will divide it and place it into 2 containers and seal the containers. 1 container will be delivered to you do not break the seal on this container. (7) Sign the form presented to you by the medical practitioner [*or registered nurse] the original of the form will be given to you which you should retain. (8) You may, if you wish, have the blood sample (in the container delivered to you) analysed at a laboratory to determine the concentration of alcohol present in the blood. (9) The other blood sample container will, in any event, be sent to Forensic Science SA where the blood will be analysed. The results of this analysis will be sent to you at your address (as indicated on the form presented to you by the medical practitioner [*or registered nurse] who took the blood sample). *The alternative of a registered nurse applies only if the breath analysis was conducted outside Metropolitan Adelaide.
