Find a Qualified DOT Substance Abuse Professional Quickly with SRS

Department of Transportation (DOT) mandated, safety-sensitive employees are required to take drug and/or alcohol tests under specific conditions. These may occur when the employee is involved in certain accidents or when the employer has reasonable grounds for suspicion. Those applying for a safety-sensitive, DOT mandated position must also take a drug and/or alcohol test upon pre-employment. Safety of both workers and the public is paramount, which is why such tests are required.

What Happens When a DOT Mandated, Safety-Sensitive Employee Fails a Drug Test?

DOT regulations require that safety-sensitive employees who fail drug and/or alcohol tests (or refuse to submit) be immediately stripped of all safety-sensitive duties. This is the first and most important step, meant to ensure the safety of the employee, their co-workers, and the public.

The next step is for the employee to meet with a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), who evaluates the employee in order to recommend education and/or treatment. It is then up to the SAP to determine when education and/or treatment has been complied with and if the employee is fit to submit a return to duty drug and/or alcohol test.

Find a Qualified DOT Substance Abuse Professional With SRS

When an employee fails a drug and/or alcohol test they will be either given a list of SAPs, or a referral to a service agent, from their employer. Finding a qualified DOT Substance Abuse Professional can be a difficult task when an employee only has a list of SAPs to choose from. Ensuring that they are choosing a SAP that has availability, has maintained their credentials, is located in their area, and the like, is a lot to work through and can often be frustrating.
