Results by Employment Type, 2015 (DRAFT)


Effectiveness of Lower Cutoff Levels for Alcohol Testing, 2015 (DRAFT)

Slide 6

• 32% of alcohol positives due to time dependent cutoff levels implemented in the 2008 final rule (BAC < 0.04)

• This effectiveness trend has remained steady from 2013-2015 (31-32% of positives at BAC <0.04 levels)

• Random and Followup testing positives above 0.04 BAC is a concern (evaluate BOP)


24-Hour Reportable Events, 2015 (DRAFT)

33 Reportable Events under 10 CFR 26.719

17 Events: Supervisors • 11 Licensee employees (9 alcohol; 1 marijuana; 1 refusal)• 6 Contractor/vendors (4 alcohol; 1 amphetamines; 1 refusal)

8 Events: Prohibited items in the Protected Area (PA)• 6 events associated with alcohol (beverage container(s) discovered) • 1 event - discovery of subversion paraphernalia at security check • 1 event – prohibited item not described in the licensee report

Subversion Trends, 2012-2015 (2015 DRAFT)

Subversion attempt is any act or attempted act to subvert the testing process (e.g., refuse to provide a specimen, provide or attempt to provide a substituted or adulterated specimen).

Subversion Attempts2012 177 of 1,114 violations = 15.8% subversions2013 148 of 1,007 violations = 14.7% subversions2014 187 of 1,133 violations = 16.5% subversions2015 231 of 1,199 violations = 19.3% subversions

In 2015• 46 sites reported at least 1 subversion attempt

5 highest sites: 7, 22, 16, 19, and 8

• 76% of subversions attempts occurred at pre-access testing (176 of 231)

• 95% of subversion attempts by contractor/vendors
