Helping Your Employee Find a SAP Provider in Colorado

As an employer of DOT mandated safety-sensitive employees, you are responsible for following certain rules when it comes to keeping your workplace free of drugs and alcohol. The DOT regulations were created to help protect employees as well as the general public who share transportation pathways. When an employee violates one of these regulations, fails a DOT mandated drug and/or alcohol test, or refuses to take a regular, random, or accident-mandated drug and/or alcohol test they need to begin the return-to-duty process before they are allowed to return to their safety-sensitive job functions. This process is guided by a SAP (Substance Abuse Professional). If your employee needs a SAP provider in Colorado, or elsewhere in the U.S., please read on.

SRS Can Help Employees Find a SAP Provider in Colorado

You are probably aware that as an employer of DOT mandated safety-sensitive employees you are required to provide a list of SAPs to employees who need to start the return-to-duty process. However, do you know that your list must be updated regularly? In order to be a DOT-qualified SAP, counselors must complete DOT-mandated training and keep their license current. Unfortunately, some professionals let their credentials lapse.

If a SAP on your list is not currently DOT-qualified, the work the employee does with that SAP toward their return-to-duty process will not be valid. The employee must find a DOT-qualified SAP and start all over again. Every day that passes as the employee starts the process over is more missed income for both the employee and the employer. You don’t want to incur decreased productivity because of a shortage of workers.
