Help Finding a DOT SAP Near Me

As a DOT mandated safety-sensitive employee you likely know most, if not all, of the requirements necessary to comply with DOT safety procedures and policies. Most importantly, you must adhere to all applicable directives regarding safety, including the mandatory substance abuse testing program. If you fail the test or refuse to comply, you will be immediately removed from your job and must begin a return-to-duty process with a SAP (Substance Abuse Professional). If you find yourself in this situation, you may be asking, “where do I find a DOT SAP near me so I can get back to work?”

DOT Testing and SAP Programs

The Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991 was put into place after a series of critical transportation accidents occurred. As an employee regulated by the DOT, it is important that you understand the need for this program. The program aims to ensure the safety of both safety-sensitive employees and any of the general public who may come in contact with them. Random testing checks that drivers are free from the influences of drugs and alcohol while on duty.

As mentioned above, if you fail or refuse a test, you must seek a DOT-qualified Substance Abuse Professional and complete a return-to-duty program in order to restore your eligibility for safety-sensitive work. The SAP evaluates your condition recommends education and/or treatment as necessary. Once you demonstrate compliance with the SAP’s recommendations a follow-up evaluation is performed and you receive approval to take a return-to-duty test.

Partner With SAP Referral Services

Like with many other professionals holding an accreditation, a SAP must keep their DOT qualification current. Should they let it lapse, they are no longer eligible to perform their services for employees mandated by the Department of Transportation. If you seek out a SAP on your own, you risk connecting with one with expired DOT qualifications. Unfortunately, if you complete their program it will not count, and you will have wasted your time and money.
