ELDs topic of December Safety Council meeting

For the first time, beginning January 1, 2018, truck drivers subject to pre-employment and post-accident drug tests will be screened for four additional synthetic opioids. This will require medical experts to consider prescribing medications that balance pain mitigation with safety performance.

Indications are that most of the private, drug-testing labs are ready to conduct the four additional Department of Transportation mandated tests. According to Barry Sample, senior director of science and technology for Quest Diagnostics, Inc., the new requirement will likely slow down the process for medical review officers.

The primary responsibility of a medical review officer is to verify if an employee has an alternative medical explanation for a lab-confirmed positive test result.

Testing for hydrocodone, hydromorphone, oxymorphone and oxycodone could result in drivers - even with prescriptions for the pain killers - failing their tests. Those positive test results will be referred to a medical review officer to determine if a driver should be allowed to get behind the wheel.

A lab sends all test results, positive or negative to an MRO, Sample said.

“We fully expect to have more laboratory positives,” Sample told Transport Topics. “And, I would expect there will be more medical review officer positives as well. There will be additional specimens that screen positive that in the past would have been verified negatives.

So those will have a longer turnaround time.” cont. on page 2

Abigail Potter, manager, safety and occupational health policy at American Trucking Associations, said “If someone gets dinged as positive, an MRO reviews it, and if the MRO finds that the person had a legitimate prescription under the Controlled Substance Act, then it will most likely be marked negative.”

But someone who has a valid prescription for one of these drugs may not be considered medically qualified by the medical review officer. He might be able to pass a DOT test, but he may not be medically certified to drive.”

She added, “These are very potent drugs, and some of them have addiction qualities similar to heroin. They are very, very dangerous. We as an industry are focused on preventing these drugs being used by drivers.”

The DOT final rule, announced November 9th, would continue to make medical review officers the ultimate decision-makers of whether a driver, with or without a legal opioid prescription, is fit to drive. If the driver with a prescription for an opioid passes the drug test but still is not deemed fit to drive, the medical review officer can still forward a “safety concern” letter to the driver’s employer, but only after a five-day waiting period, Sample said. The waiting period would allow the driver’s physician to further discuss the matter with the officer.

During the comment period for the proposed rule earlier this year, several commenters expressed concerns that adding the opioid tests will increase circumstances in which drivers innocently using opioids would be unfairly treated as drug abusers, with consequent positive tests harming their careers.

In response, DOT said it added language in the final rule to prohibit an MRO from denying a legitimate explanation based on whether the officer thinks the prescribing physician should not have prescribed the medication to the driver.

Yet, the agency said in its final rule that it’s important

to note that when there is a valid concern about whether the employee can continue performing safely, the prescribing physician still may be asked to reconsider the employee’s use of the prescription. And, even when a prescription is legitimate, the MRO can forward a safety concern letter to the driver’s employer.

Sample said the odds of failing an opioid test with a valid prescription are “very dependent” on the pattern of use, dosage, frequency of use and an individual’s metabolism.

The detection window for the new opioid tests is shorter than for many other drugs, Sample said.

We generally say the [opioid] urine screen will be able to detect use within the last 72 hours,” he added.

Sample said opioids may cause decreased reaction time and increase sleepiness.

But, for some individuals, they may be actually be more effective in carrying out their duties if they are not debilitated by pain,” he said. “So it’s somewhat of a balancing act in trying to ensure that the individual is being treated for their pain, but might impact their ability to work.
