If a member cannot produce enough urine, to whom are they referred?

Referring a member who cannot produce enough urine to the Medical Review Officer is appropriate because this individual is specifically trained to handle issues related to drug testing and medical oversight. The Medical Review Officer evaluates the medical conditions and circumstances surrounding an employee's inability to provide a urine sample, ensuring that the process is conducted fairly and in accordance with regulations.

This referral is critical in scenarios involving drug testing, where a sufficient urine sample is necessary to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations. The Medical Review Officer can assess if there are legitimate medical reasons for the member's inability to produce urine and recommend the next steps, which may include alternative testing methods or further medical evaluation.

Other roles such as the Deputy Chief of Personnel, Department Chief, or EAP Coordinator may not have the specialized training or responsibility in managing issues specifically related to urine analysis or drug testing protocols. Their focus may lie in personnel management, overall departmental operations, or employee assistance programs, but none are specifically tasked with addressing medical review processes concerning urine sampling.
