Quick Access to a SAP Provider
When an individual uses public transportation, they do so with the understanding that their journey is going to be a safe one. Making safety a reality is the duty of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). An important factor of ensuring safety includes demanding a drug and alcohol-free workplace. As a result, the DOT requires all public transportation industries to comply with these safety standards by administering random drug and alcohol testing of safety-sensitive employees.
DOT Drug and Alcohol-Free Workplace Standards
Safety-sensitive transportation employees in aviation, trucking, railroads, mass transit, pipelines, and other transportation industries are responsible for the traveling public’s safety. Unfortunately, sometimes drug or alcohol use affects their ability to carry out their duties.
As soon as a DOT regulated safety-sensitive employee refuses or fails a test for drugs and/or alcohol, they must immediately stop performing all safety-sensitive functions. The next step is to undergo an evaluation by a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP). Then, you will be required to complete all courses, education or treatment prescribed to you by the SAP. Finally, a follow-up evaluation by the SAP to determines your compliance with their recommendations.
Lastly, you will need to provide a sample for testing that returns a negative result for alcohol and/or drugs. You will be required to complete this entire process to go back to work. It is the SAP who will recommend to your workplace when you are ready for your return-to-duty test. So, where do you begin?
Finding a SAP Provider That’s Right for You
