The undersigned applicant for employment understands and acknowledges
that Richland County requires all applicants who are tentatively
selected for employment to submit to and pass a drug test, and that
failure to take the test, failure to cooperate in taking the test,
failure to follow test procedures, or testing positive for the use of

The drug test will be by urinalysis and if the collector of the test
sample believes that there is a reasonable possibility that the
applicant has or will tamper with or substitute the urine sample, the
sample or an additional sample may be collected under conditions in
which a person of the same gender of the applicant may witness the
collection.
The applicant consents to the foregoing.
