My Employer Told Me I Have to Be Evaluated by a SAP, What’s Next?

Are you looking for a SAP program in Pennsylvania? If your employer told you that you have to find a SAP, that means you failed a drug and/or alcohol test and have been removed from your safety-sensitive duties. When a federally-regulated employee performs safety-sensitive job functions under the influence they are putting themselves and the general public in danger.

Employees are tested for drugs and/or alcohol during pre-employment, at random, after certain accidents, for reasonable suspicion, as a part of the return-to-duty process, and during follow-up testing specified by their SAP. If an employee refuses to take a test or their results come back positive, they must find a SAP to start the return to duty process.

How to Find A SAP in Your Area: SAP Programs Nationwide

After you are removed from your safety-sensitive duties, your employer will refer you to a list of Substance Abuse Professionals or give you a referral to a service agent like SAP Referral Services. Finding a SAP with a SAP list can be difficult. Between calling around to find one with availability, waiting for returned calls, and ensuring the SAP is DOT qualified with up-to-date qualifications, a SAP list can quickly become a frustrating resource.  If the SAP you choose does not have current qualifications, you may have to repeat the process.

Using a service agent like SAP Referral Services will give you peace of mind. They ensure the Substance Abuse Professionals have current qualifications and can schedule you quickly with a SAP in Pennsylvania, or anywhere nationwide. This means you can get back to work as soon as possible.
