Industry drug test failure rates remain low, random testing quota set for 2014
This looks like a tempest in a cocktail shaker.
One hand on the shaker embraces the amount of the population of train and engine crews; the other hand holds the inverted glass, or for the not classically minded, the metal top of the shaker, the failure rate of booze tests among the 10 per cent.
.05 per-cent failure rate
By the way DPM,s proof-reading corps was Rosemary Entringer, with her, DPM held all 4 aces in every hand dealt.
A brakeman, graduate of drug and alcohol rehab was subject to frequent testing and retesting when I worked the “Country Job.” a misnomer: many industries on the Mulford Line from Oakland south, Timetable east 25 miles south.

I agree with you totally about this being a waste of money. Why the higher rate for something way harder to obtain then alcohol which you can obtain virtually everywhere. At least make the percentages the same level of testing. I would surmise that it cost almost the same to run drug and alcohol screening together. Which brings up a question. Is there 2 different screenings or is there just 1 and they ignore 15% of the results for alcohol?
And let me add that this is an incredible waste of money. If 10% is sufficient for alcohol (a much easier thing to obtain) why isn’t it the percentage for drugs? There is no proof this is a deterrent and obviously with the low positive rates, the industry runs very clean anyway.
Please edit this and fix the last paragraph. The alcohol test rate is 10% (at least if they continue the established rate of 2013)
DPM continues to roll in his grave. Duh? I can hear the rumblings in Montana! Must be Kalmbach’s only proofreader took a long holiday weekend and left the UFT/NEA “edumicated” kids in charge.
