(c) Reasonable suspension (psychoactive substances) (d) Post-accident (psychoactive substances) (e) Follow-up testing (psychoactive substances)


All aviation companies should be


concerned about the lives of all aviation personnel and the public and the use of psychoactive substances puts all at risk. Therefore, the FAA should allow international 145 operators to implement a program for aviation personnel who want to seek assistance for problematic substance use to submit to voluntary testing. Working is part of everyday life and duties keep people and the economy moving. ICAO recommends voluntary testing under 5.23 and CAAP 51 6.4 reads: (b) That the employee will have the opportunity to voluntarily admit to being a user of illegal drugs and to receive counseling or rehabilitation, “in which case disciplinary action is not required;”


TYPES OF SUBSTANCES TESTED FOR At a minimum, an acceptable program should require testing for drugs and alcohol under Part 120. In the interest of safety, the minimum testing should mirror ICAO standards and recom- mendations and the GCAA’s regulations allowing testing for: • Alcohol • Opioids


• Cannabinoids • Sedatives and hypnotics • Cocaine and other stimulants • Hallucinogens • Volatile solvents.


Aviation operators governed by Part 120 should also have to mirror ICAO and GCAA testing for all psychoactive substances.


RANDOM TESTING Per the DOT, ICAO and GCAA, random testing along with its conse- quences is intended to deter employees from using psychoactive substances and


to detect employees who do not refrain from using them. ICAO recommends random testing and addresses it under 5.24-5.27. Under CAAP 51, 9.4, random testing is conducted as follows: 9.4.1 Employee Selection. The selection of employees for random drug and alcohol testing can be made by a scientifically valid method such as random number table or a computer based random number generator that is matched with employees’ payroll identification number or other comparable identifying numbers. It is the company’s responsibility to find the best method to perform the random testing. 9.4.2 Annual Percentage Rate for random drug and/or Alcohol testing. The GCAA policy requires that the minimum annual percentage rate for random drug testing shall be 20% of covered employees and the minimum annual percentage rate for random Alcohol testing shall be 20% of covered employees. This applied to all industries with employees in safety sensitive functions. 9.4.3 Implementing Random Testing. In implementing the program of random testing the Drug Program Coordinator shall Ensure that the means of random selection remains confidential; and evaluate periodically whether the numbers of employees tested and the frequency with which those tests will be administered satisfy the company/ operator’s duty to achieve a drug-free work force, or achieve the percentage which was determined by the GCAA. 9.4.4 Notification of Selection.An


individual selected for random testing, and the individual’s first-line supervisor, shall be notified the same day the test is scheduled, preferably, within two hours of the scheduled testing. The supervisor shall explain to the employee that the employee is under no suspicion of taking drugs and that the employee’s name was selected randomly. 9.4.5 Deferral of Testing. An employee selected for random drug and / or Alcohol testing will not obtain a deferral of testing, if he is in a leave
