(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.

G. Post-Accident Testing. An employee who is involved in an accident
that results in substantive property damage or reportable personal
injury may be required to participate in a drug and alcohol test. Such
an accident constitutes reasonable suspicion.

H. Medical Marijuana. Big River may discipline an employee or deny
employment to a prospective employee for a positive drug test
resulting from the employee’s or prospective employee’s use of
medical marijuana or medical cannabidiol, regardless of whether the
use is permitted by the Iowa Medical Cannabidiol Act, Iowa Code §
124E or Illinois’ Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Program Act.

I. Test Transportation. In all situations where testing is initiated, the
employee is required to report immediately to the designated collection
site for drug and alcohol testing. Transportation to the designated
collection site may be offered by Big River. Alternatively, Big River will
pay for a cab, or an employee can contact a family member for
transportation.

If the employee refuses transportation assistance and it is reasonably
believed by Big River that the employee is currently under the
influence of drugs or alcohol, the company will contact the local police
or sheriff if the employee plans to drive himself/herself. Under no
circumstances shall Big River be liable to any employee who declines
transportation for any injury, citation, or ticket received by the
employee.

Documentation regarding the above situation will be maintained in a
separate file. Failure to sign a release may result in disciplinary action.
