The carrier (whether a railroad or mass transit carrier) is required to administer a post incident test upon responsible crew members within a 3 hour time period after such incident. Does not mean the carrier can not ask the engineer or T/O to move the equipment to nearest point of available relief but is very rare since investigatory supervisor will likely be deadheading with relief engineer and would hold the railroad liable in the event the drug alcohol and breathalizer is not administered in time to cover the regulations. I also recall a NYCT-TWU claim where an RTO guy was charged and eventually aquitted with failure to provide specimens in the alloted time because the TSS van deadheading him from Lefferts on midnight tour to Jay Street for random testing broke down on Atlantic Avenue and he arrived too late. |
