CONSENT FOR DRUG TESTING

To protect the health and safety of our employees and customers, to maintain a productive work force, and to preserve CTA’s reputation, we strictly enforce rules against unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, use, sale, purchase, solicitation, possession, or transfer of illegal drugs, other controlled substances or alcohol or sale of alcohol and drugs in compliance with the provisions of Chapter 7 of Title 71 of the Mississippi Statutes and as required by Federal Transit Administration Regulations, Guidelines, and CTA’s policy and procedures as a Drug Free Work Place . For those reasons, we require that every applicant test negative on a pre-employment drug test, which screens for the presence of specific drugs and their metabolites, after being offered a position, and as a condition of employment. Each applicant is required to attest to his/her consent to test, before that individual can be considered for a position with CTA. If you have a positive confirmed test result or you refuse to submit to the pre-employment drug screening test, you will not be eligible for employment with CTA.

I hereby consent and agree to participate in the proper drug and alcohol screening to be in compliance with the federal guidelines at any medical facility designated by CTA, to be used to determine the presence of drugs or their metabolites in my system. I hereby further give my consent to the medical facility or testing laboratory to furnish the results of any test performed on my specimen to the medical review officer, which will follow all required steps in notifing the applicant and then the company according to federal guidelines. I understand that I will be required to provide CTA with proof that I do not have illicit drugs or their metabolites in my system by testing negative on the pre-employment drug screening test, prior to and as a condition to commencing employment with CTA. If employed, I hereby give my consent to CTA to require such additional specimens from time to time, in accordance with CTA’s drug and alcohol testing policies or programs, as a condition of continued employment with CTA. I certify that I have not taken any drugs that could effect the results of my drug screening.

My signature below acknowledges that I have read and I understand that this consent was freely and knowingly given.
