According to 46 CFR's, all mariners directly involved in a "Serious Marine Incident" are required to submit a urine specimen for screening of dangerous drug use within ______.
• 46 CFR Part 4 – Marine Casualties and Investigations • Definition of a Serious Marine Incident (SMI) vs. a minor casualty • Time limits in 46 CFR for post-incident drug and alcohol testing
• Think about why the Coast Guard wants drug testing done quickly after an SMI. How does that affect the time limit? • Compare the typical time limits you’ve seen for alcohol testing versus urine drug testing in 46 CFR. Are they the same or different? • Which of these answer choices best matches a realistic but still practical window for collecting a urine specimen after an incident at sea?
• Look up the exact time requirement in 46 CFR Part 4, Subpart C – Chemical Testing. • Confirm the difference between alcohol testing timeframe and drug (urine) testing timeframe in the regulation. • Verify that the correct choice refers specifically to all mariners directly involved in a Serious Marine Incident and not just the master or operator.
