Driver Drug & Alcohol Testing: Is Your Program Compliant?

September 2016

Alcohol and drug use among employees can be an expensive problem for an employer. Issues range from lost productivity, absenteeism, injuries, fatalities, theft and low employee morale, to an increase in health care, legal liabilities and workers' compensation costs. And the risks are especially high when it comes to employees who drive for a living.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) require persons subject to commercial driver's license (CDL) regulations and their employers follow specific alcohol and drug testing rules. These rules include procedures for testing, frequency of tests, and substances tested.

During this webinar, you will learn key elements of drug and alcohol testing compliance related to CDL regulations, including:

What your drug and alcohol policy should include
How to deal with a positive result
What to do with an applicant who has a positive test result from a previous employer
How to deal with a dilute specimen
When you can send a driver in for a random drug and alcohol test
