How often
will I be tested?
Program participants will be tested initially at the first time of entry to
a CUDAP company. Following that initial test, every program participant is
subject to lottery testing at any time at any CUDAP work location. Because
testing is done by lottery selection, each program participant may be tested
multiple times per year or may not be tested at all.
How do
I know lottery testing is done in a completely impartial manner?
Individuals will be selected using a two step process:
What if
I lose my BUILT-RITE passport?
All photographs and personal information are retained in a database. Passports
can be reissued upon request at a fee of $15.00 by calling BUILT-RITE.
If you lose your passport and have to gain access to a worksite location, your
status in the program can be verified at the CUDAP worksite by phone.
What if
I have not worked at a CUDAP worksite in a very long time?
Once you are issued your BUILT-RITE passport, you will always be registered
in BUILT-RITE's database. When you check-in to work at a CUDAP worksite, you
will be active in the program but you may be required to retest due to time
away from a CUDAP company.
What if
I test positive?
You will be referred to a substance abuse professional. Following treatment
and return to work testing, you may return to work at a CUDAP location. If you
test positive a second time, you will be barred from working at CUDAP locations.
How confidential
is the substance abuse testing information?
CUDAP member employers will be able to check your status in the program. Your
status will be either "available" or "not available." "Available"
means you are in the program and you have either no positives or you tested
positive and you have been cleared to return to work. "Not available"
means you have had two positive tests or you have had a positive test and you
have not gone through the rehabilitation process to return to work.
What if
I decide not to participate in the CUDAP program?
You will not be permitted access to the CUDAP employer's jobsite.
Is CUDAP
supported by my union?
The CUDAP program is a joint program of BUILT-RITE, local employers and the
Philadelphia Building and Construction Trades Council and its member unions.
What if
I test positive because of a prescribed medication or a drug given during a
recent medical procedure?
Individuals testing positive will be interviewed by a physician who is certified
as a Medical Review Officer (MRO). The MRO will review all relevant medical
information you provide prior to making a final determination.
What if
I refuse to be tested for either drugs or alcohol?
You will be refused subsequent work at a CUDAP worksite.
