legal guardian of the employee by certified mail, return receipt
                                       requested.

                               5.      Employees  shall  be  entitled  to  receive  records  of  a  confirmed
                                       drug or alcohol test. The request for records shall be directed to
                                       Human Resources.

                               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.
