It clarifies exclusions from federal testing programs and certain exempt employers’ data, and describes the collaborative administration model involving the Maine Department of Labor, Health and Human Services licensing and oversight functions. It also outlines employer compliance requirements, including EAP certification, submission and approval of testing policies, annual mandatory survey reporting, and how testing results are categorized for analysis.","2013 Annual Report on\nMarch 2014\nSubmitted to the Maine Legislature by\nMaine Department of Labor\nBureau of Labor Standards\n\u000f\nSubstance Abuse Testing By Maine Employers\n2013\nMark B. Dawson\nBureau of Labor Standards\nMaine Department of Labor\nThe Maine Department of Labor provides equal opportunity employment and programs.\nAuxiliary aids and services are available to individuals with disabilities upon request.\nTelephone (207) 623-7900     TTY Users Call Maine Relay 711     FAX (207) 623-7937\nThis publication is available at: http://www.maine.gov/labor/labor_stats/publications/substanceabuse/\n\u000f\nScope\nThe Maine Department of Labor (MDOL) is submitting this report to the Joint Standing Committee on Labor, Commerce, Research and Economic Development in accordance with the Maine Substance Abuse Testing Law, Title 26 M.R.S.A.§690. The Maine Substance Abuse Testing Law is intended to protect the privacy rights of employees, yet allow an employer to administer testing, to ensure proper testing procedures, to ensure that an employee with a substance abuse problem receives an opportunity for rehabilitation and treatment, and to eliminate drug abuse in the workplace.  The law was initially enacted in 1989 and was amended by the Legislature in 1995, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2011.\nThis report pertains only to employer testing activities under Maine law. It is not a comprehensive study of workplace substance abuse testing because it does not include individuals who are tested under federal testing programs, which are outside the scope of state testing law.  Further, it does not include non-federal employee testing data from some employers who have been exempted under the most recent amendment to the Maine law.\nPractice\nThe administration of the Maine Drug Testing Law is a collaborative effort of the following agencies:\nMaine Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Standards (BLS)\nReviews and approves substance abuse testing policies.\nCollects the annual reports of substance abuse testing.\nAnalyzes testing data and publishes this annual report.\nDepartment of Health and Human Services, Health and Environmental Testing\nLaboratory\nResponsible for the licensing of laboratories that Maine employers can use for testing of controlled substances. For a list of approved testing laboratories, contact the Maine Department of Labor.\nDepartment of Health and Human Services, Office of Substance Abuse\nAny employer with more than 20 full-time employees must have a functioning Employee Assistance Program (EAP) prior to testing their employees, as stated in Title 26 M.R.S.A. §683, 1. The EAP must be certified by the Department of Health and Human Services and certification must be renewed every two years.\nAny employer desiring to undertake substance abuse testing of current or prospective employees, other than those tested under federal regulations, must submit a substance abuse testing policy to the Maine Department of Labor. An employer may not commence testing until the MDOL has notified the employer that the policy has been approved and the employer has given proper notice to its employees.\nPolicy templates developed by the Maine Department of Labor help employers develop substance abuse policies for their workplaces and make it easier for the MDOL to review company policies. The policy templates are available on the MDOL website: \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.maine.gov/labor/labor_laws/substance_abuse_testing/\" \u0014www.maine.gov/labor/labor_laws/substance_abuse_testing\u0015. (The template is suggested wording that an employer can use to begin the policy development process. This template should not be confused with the model policy suggested in LD 1669, which would create one master policy for implementation by each employer.)\nSurvey\nEach employer with a drug testing policy approved by the Maine Department of Labor (see Appendix 1) is required to report its testing activities annually. This is accomplished via a mandatory survey conducted by the Department.
