6.     If the employee is involved in an accident at work and the
                                        person providing treatment administers a blood test for drugs
                                        and alcohol, Big River may rely on and take disciplinary action
                                        based  on  the  results  of  the  blood  test,  provided  that  the
                                        company  did  not  request  or  suggest  the  blood  test  be
                                        administered.


                         D.  Regular Testing: Regular testing may be scheduled for all employees on a
                                calendar  or  project  assignment  basis  to  meet  project,  contract,  or
                                other requirements. Testing will occur during, immediately before, or
                                immediately after a regular work period.


                         E.     Random Drug Testing. A neutral and objective selection process will be
                         adhered
                                to by an independent entity. Each employee has an equal chance of
                                selection  for  initial  testing  and  the  selection  process  is  computer
                                generated.


                         F. Reasonable Suspicion Testing. Big River may require an employee to submit
                         to a
                                drug and/or alcohol test based on the reasonable suspicion that the
                                employee is using or has used drugs or alcohol in violation of this policy.
                                The company or a designee will evaluate the evidence to determine
                                if reasonable suspicion exists. Reasonable suspicion shall be based on
                                specific  objective  and  articulable  facts  and  reasonable  inferences
                                drawn  from  those  facts,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  any  of  the
                                following:

                                     (a)    Observable  phenomena,  such  as  direct  observation  of
                                            alcohol  or  drug  use  or  physical  symptoms  of  drug  or
                                            alcohol use.


                                     (b)    Abnormal  conduct  or  erratic  behavior  or  a  significant
                                            deterioration in work performance.


                                     (c)    A report of drug or alcohol use from a credible source.


                                     (d)    Evidence that the employee has tampered with any drug
                                            or alcohol test.


                                     (e)    Evidence  that  the  employee  has  manufactured,  sold,
                                            distributed, solicited, possessed, used, or transferred drugs
                                            while  working,  at  work,  or  using  a  vehicle  or  machinery
                                            owned by Big River.
