I hereby agree, upon a request made under the drug/alcohol testing policy of the Village of
Gowanda (the Village), to submit to a drug or alcohol test and-to furnish a sample of my urine,

might use for any alleged harm to me that might result from the release or use of information or
documentation relating to the drug or alcohol test, as long as the release or use of the information
is within the scope of this policy and the procedures as explained in the paragraph above.

This policy and authorization have been explained to me in a language I understand, and I have
been told that if I have any questions about the test or the policy, they will be answered.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THE VILLAGE WILL REQUIRE A DRUG SCREEN TEST UNDER.
THIS POLICY. WHENEVER I AM INVOLVED IN AN ON-THE-JOB ACCIDENT OR
