Special Collection Situations

Situations not considered as refusal

If a donor for pre-employment testing fails to appear, does not provide a urine specimen, or leaves the collection site before the collection process begins (e.g. before being given a collection cup), this is not considered a refusal to test.

If a donor refuses to sign the donor certification on the pink copy of the CCF or to initial the security strips, this is not considered a refusal to test.

If a donor refuses to provide an ID or Social Security Number, this is not considered a refusal to test.

If a donor during the three (3) hour waiting period for a "shy bladder" refuses to drink any liquids, this is not considered a refusal to test.
