Find a SAP with SAP Referral Services

A DOT-mandated, safety-sensitive employee will have to find a SAP in their area if they fail a drug and/or alcohol test. DOT-mandated, safety-sensitive employees hold the responsibility of keeping themselves and the general public safe. To ensure all safety-sensitive employees are drug and alcohol-free, they are required to submit to drug and/or alcohol tests upon pre-employment, at random, possibly after an accident, and if an employer has cause to believe they are working while impaired.

Who are Safety Sensitive Employees?

Safety-sensitive employees work under the following modes:

  1. FMCSA
  2. FAA
  3. FRA
  4. FTA
  5. USCG
  6. PHMSA

Return to Duty Process After Failing a DOT Drug Test

Once an employee is removed from their safety-sensitive duties, they have to find a SAP in order to resume their safety-sensitive job functions. Therefore, it is imperative that an employee finds a SAP quickly so they can begin the return-to-duty process.

Once a SAP is located they can begin the return-to-duty process:

  1. Initial SAP evaluation
  2. Attendance of treatment and/or education programs
  3. Follow-up evaluation and recommendation for a return-to-duty drug and/or alcohol test
  4. Submission of return-to-duty documents provided by the SAP to the employer
