Union Pacific Railroad’s Drug and Alcohol Policy is based largely upon the requirements of Title 49 of the US Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Regulations, requirements, rules, and information from the CFR are incorporated throughout this policy and are printed in a “bold italic font.”
When elements of this policy differ from the CFR, the Union Pacific policy is shown in a "NOTE" or is shown in a “standard font.”
In the case of a non-Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) test, any reference to a "covered employee" also applies to a non-covered employee.
In the case of a non-FRA test, any reference to a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) also applies to the Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
The use of the term "manager" is a generic reference to a non-agreement employee who controls the work of others, i.e., supervisor or manager.
Nothing in this policy supercedes any Department of Transportation (DOT), FRA, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), or Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulation. If this policy is in conflict with, or inadvertently omits any regulatory requirements, the requirement remains valid. The employer or employee remains responsible for compliance. The principle (sic) governing regulations are:
