(a)
Methods of analysis.
(1) Licensed drug screen testing facilities
				shall have the capability of performing initial screening for the following
				classes of drugs or their metabolites: marijuana and cocaine, using an
				immunoassay which meets the requirements of the United States Food and Drug
				Administration for commercial distribution or another approved screening
				procedure or if prepared in-house by the testing facility, documented evidence
				shall exist indicating that the antibody meets acceptable performance
				criteria.
(2) Initial screening
				shall be completed within forty-eight (48) hours following receipt of the
				specimen by the testing facility. If the initial screening cannot be completed
				within forty-eight (48) hours, the specimen shall not be accepted or shall be
				sent to another testing facility for screening.
(3) If the drug screen testing facility is
				not certified for forensic urine drug testing by the United States Department
				of Health and Human Services or accredited for forensic urine drug testing by
				the College of American Pathologists all specimens that do not test negative
				shall be forwarded to an appropriate testing facility for
				confirmation.
(4) All confirmatory
				urine or saliva drug testing shall be performed by a testing facility that is
				certified for forensic urine drug testing by the United States Department of
				Health and Human Services or accredited for forensic urine drug testing by the
				College of American Pathologists.
(5) No positive urine or saliva drug screen
				shall be reported to the Review Officer until the positive initial screen has
				been confirmed as required. If the employer operates a drug screen testing
				facility, the employer shall not base any employment decision on a positive
				urine drug screen until the positive initial test has been confirmed and
				reviewed.
(6) No positive hair drug
				screen shall be reported to the Review Officer until the positive initial
				screen has been decontaminated and confirmed by the same laboratory.

				number.
(b) The drug screen testing
				facility shall report as negative all specimens which are negative on the
				initial test or negative on the confirmatory test. Only specimens confirmed
				positive shall be reported as positive for a specific drug.
(c) The Review Officer may request from the
				drug screen testing facility and the drug screen testing facility shall provide
				quantitation of test results. The Review Officer shall not disclose
				quantitation of test results to the employer but shall report only whether the
				test was positive or negative.
(d)
				The drug screen testing facility may transmit results to the Review Officer by
				electronic means, i.e., teleprinters, facsimile, or computer, in a manner
				designed to ensure confidentiality of the information. Results shall not be
				provided verbally by telephone. The drug screen testing facility shall ensure
				the security of the data transmission and limit access to any data
				transmission, storage, and retrieval system.
