Passenger Transport (General) Regulation 2017

An operator must notify TfNSW, in the form approved by TfNSW, of any of the following events within 48 hours of becoming aware of the event happening—

a confirmatory analysis confirming the presence of a drug in the urine of a transport safety employee,

a breath analysis confirming the presence of alcohol in the blood of a transport safety employee,

a transport safety employee who, when required to do so under this Regulation, fails to undergo a breath test or breath analysis or provide a sample of blood or urine,

an incident or suspected incident involving something being done in contravention of this Regulation to introduce, or alter the concentration of, a drug in a transport safety employee’s blood or urine before the employee submitted to a breath analysis or provided a sample of blood or urine,

in relation to a bus operator—an analysis of blood confirming the presence of a drug in the blood of a bus safety employee,

in relation to a ferry operator—an incident involving, or suspected of involving, the interference or tampering with or destruction of a sample of blood or urine.

Without limiting subclause (1), the approved form may require an operator to include a statement outlining any action taken or proposed to be taken in relation to the event.

TfNSW may, by written notice to a bus operator, require the operator to provide TfNSW with statistical information relating to the conduct of drug testing by the operator.

TfNSW may, by written notice to a ferry operator, require the operator to provide TfNSW with records of the dates and results of drug testing carried out by the operator.

The written notices referred to in subclauses (3) and (4) must specify—

the times at which the information or records must be provided, and

the form in which the information or records must be provided.

It is a condition of the accreditation of a bus operator that the operator must not, without reasonable excuse, fail to comply with the requirements of this clause.
