The goal of the IMPACT Substance Abuse Program is to provide a "pre-qualified", drug-free workforce to our customers. The significance of the program is that labor and management will work together more effectively than ever to maximize jobsite safety, eliminate duplicate testing, comply with new regulations, and generate significant time and cost savings for the benefit of local unions, members, contractors, and our customers.

The program creates a pool of pre-tested workers, pre-qualified to work on job sites with substance abuse testing requirements. The program recognizes an employee test performed within the last 12 months as a valid pre-employment test. Standardized procedures and a shared eligibility pool enable a member's current test to:

• Serve as a valid pre-employment test for one or many Contractors
• Be a requirement of Contractors before hiring a worker to a jobsite
• Keep workers who are not in the eligibility pool from working on projects with drug testing requirements

The IMPACT Substance Abuse Program is administered by two independent third party administrators, which coordinate all program testing and enforce the program requirements.

24 Hour On-line Verification System www.impact-net.org

IMPACT has provided a service that will enable all Ironworker Local Unions and Signatory Contractors to verify that a employee has a valid program test at any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via the Internet. This service is an online verification system that is accessible through the IMPACT Web site.

Signatory Parties of the program have access to an online verification system, which is firewall and passcode protected, to confirm that workers are in the eligibility pool. Workers not in the pool are not hired until they get a program test or complete the rehabilitation requirements.

Only an eligible worker's test information is available through the system. All confidential participant information is contained within the database managed by the third party administrator and cannot be accessed by Local Unions or Contractors for any purpose.

The online system also tracks the number of verifications performed, enabling owners to measure direct cost savings.

All Ironworker Local Unions and Contractors that are signatory to the IMPACT Substance Abuse Program shall be granted access codes to the online verification system. In the instance that a party is unable to access the system, eligibility information may be requested directly from the third party administrator.
