Exhibit 11-3 CONSORTIA RESPONSIBILITIES TO MEMBERS BY FUNCTION Random Testing Ensure each employee in the testing pool has an equal chance of being selected in each random draw. Ensure the random pool is current (i.e., including new hires and excluding employees on leave or discharge). Ensure that random testing is conducted at the required rate whether combined or separate pools are used. Develop a method to notify members of random selection, indicating in writing the type of test, testing cycle (day, week, month or quarter), and numbers selected. Ensure the list of randomly selected employees reaches the members with adequate time to complete testing within the testing cycle. Establish alternative notification procedures when the program manager is included in the pool. Develop a procedure to track selection, versus random tests completed. Ensure that the random selections are made as frequently as possible, but not less often than quarterly. The larger the pool size, the more frequent the selections. Specimen Collection Ensure specimen collection procedures are followed in accordance with 49 CFR Part 40. Establish quality control methods to ensure collection sites meet DOT requirements, including: o Close geographic proximity to company o Ability to handle the number of tests required o Ability to test employees promptly Chapter 11.
