     34-38-6.   Requirements for collection and testing.
     All sample collection and testing for drugs and alcohol under this chapter shall be performed in accordance with the following conditions:
     (1) the collection of samples shall be performed under reasonable and sanitary conditions;
     (2) samples shall be collected and tested with due regard to the privacy of the individual being tested, and in a manner reasonably calculated to prevent substitutions or interference with the collection or testing of reliable samples;
     (3) sample collection shall be documented, and the documentation procedures shall include:
     (a) labeling of samples so as reasonably to preclude the probability of erroneous identification of test results; and
     (b) an opportunity for the employee or prospective employee to provide notification of any information which he considers relevant to the test, including identification of currently or recently used prescription or nonprescription drugs, or other relevant medical information.
     (4) sample collection, storage, and transportation to the place of testing shall be performed so as reasonably to preclude the probability of sample contamination or adulteration; and
     (5) sample testing shall conform to scientifically accepted analytical methods and procedures. Testing shall include verification or confirmation of any positive test result by gas chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy, or other comparably reliable analytical method, before the result of any test may be used as a basis for any action by an employer under Section 34-38-8.
