(1) or more persons involved in the accident received medical treatment
away from the scene of the accident.

iv. A covered employee who is subject to reasonable suspicion post-accident testing
shall remain readily available for such testing. Failure or refusal to be available for

employee medical and indemnity benefits. This provision shall not be construed as
requiring the delay of necessary medical attention for injured persons following an
accident or impeding an employee from leaving the scene of an accident to obtain

District may not conduct alcohol testing based on the accident provision. Likewise, if

instances when testing is not timely conducted according to the time frames noted
above.
