An employee may be required to take a breath test and/or provide a urine sample if the Company reasonably suspects violation of this rule. Refusal to comply will be considered:

• A. A minor infraction
• B. No consequence
• C. Violation of this rule and the employee will be promptly removed from service
• D. A warning

Answer: (C)

Cooperation with breath and urine testing when the company has reasonable suspicion is a mandatory part of the rule—refusing to test is treated as noncompliance with the rule itself. Because the testing is a safety measure, a refusal signals a serious breach of policy, and the standard consequence is removing the employee from service promptly. This reflects the emphasis on safety and decisive action when an impairment or potential violation is suspected. The other outcomes don’t fit the policy because a refusal is not treated as a minor infraction, a warning, or as having no consequence; it directly indicates noncompliance with a mandatory safety procedure and leads to removal from service.
