Find a DOT Substance Abuse Professional Fast
DOT mandated safety-sensitive employees can be in trucking (including school bus drivers), mass transit, aviation, maritime, railroad, and pipeline industries. If any of these individuals are under the influence while at work, the safety of many is put at risk. Consequently, the Department of Transportation (DOT) requires that any employee who has violated drug and/or alcohol regulations must be evaluated by a qualified SAP (Substance Abuse Professional) before they can return to their duties. SAP Referral Services (SRS) plays a critical role for safety-sensitive employees and their employers ensuring compliance with DOT substance abuse regulations. Here’s how SAP Referral Services can help connect you with a DOT Substance Abuse Professional quickly and efficiently.
Find a DOT Substance Abuse Professional with SAP Referral Services
After a DOT safety-sensitive employee or applicant refuses or fails drug and/or alcohol testing, their employer must provide them with a list of SAPs. Unfortunately, not every employer’s list is up to date. An up-to-date list is important because to remain DOT-qualified, SAP professionals are required to maintain certain qualifications. If there is a lapse in the qualification of the SAP and an employee works with that SAP, the employee must repeat the entire return-to-duty process. The risks of working with an unqualified SAP are high; employees lose time and money. Fortunately, SAP Referral Services provides access to thousands of DOT-qualified SAPs.
Additionally, speed is of the essence when dealing with DOT violations. The sooner an employee can be evaluated and begins any necessary treatment, the sooner they can return to their safety-sensitive duties. SAP Referral Services provides fast referrals to DOT-qualified SAPs, reducing the wait time compared to if an individual were to search for a SAP independently.
