Why Do I Need to Find a DOT SAP Provider?
Did you fail a drug or alcohol test at work and need to find a DOT SAP provider? Perhaps you were applying for a safety-sensitive, DOT-mandated job and were turned down for failing a drug or alcohol screening. Maybe you were involved in an accident while on the job. Whatever the case was, if you failed a drug and/or alcohol test you will need to complete the SAP process.
Who is Required to Take a Drug or Alcohol Test?
DOT subjects employees working in safety-sensitive positions in the aviation, transit, pipeline, railroad, maritime, and commercial motor carrier industries to submit to drug and alcohol screening to ensure the safety of the public, the employee and his/her co-workers.
The testing can be conducted during recruitment screening for prospective employees, randomly, and when there is reasonable cause or suspicion that an employee is operating machinery under the influence of drugs or alcohol. An employee may also be tested when they are involved in an accident, to determine whether they are suitable to return to work, and as follow up after returning to work after the SAP process.
Find a Qualified DOT SAP Provider
There are different ways to find a qualified DOT SAP provider. The employer can provide a list of SAP providers, a self-employed individual can find one on their own by searching for SAPs in their area, or the employee may be referred to a service agent for referrals. While an employer can provide a listing of SAP providers, there is always a chance that the contact information or credentials on the list are outdated. Service agents keep a listing of the most up-to-date providers within the employee’s region and can fast-track the process of finding an available provider.
The process of looking for a qualified DOT SAP provider and booking an appointment can be daunting to an employee who is dealing with the fact that they are out of work. One advantage of using a service agent is that they have the most up-to-date information for the SAP providers – this includes credentials. Employees will also receive an appointment quickly so they can get started with the SAP process.
