What will happen to me if I violate a DOT drug & alcohol rule (e.g. test positive, or refuse a test)?
If you or any of your employees are regulated by the Department of Transportation (DOT) and hold a safey sensitive designated position then you are required to fully comply with Part 40 of the DOT regulations and the office of drug and alcohol policy compliance.
Compliance with these requirements include pre-employment drug testing, random drug testing, post-accident drug testing and reasonable suspicion drug testing. Failure to comply can result in removal from the safety sensitive position, termination and fines or costs associated with violating the DOT drug and alcohol testing requirements.
Your employer is required to immediately remove you from performing safety-sensitive functions. You will not be permitted to return to DOT regulated safety-sensitive functions until you have:
- Undergone an evaluation by a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP). Your employer must provide you with a list of SAPs that you can use;
- Successfully completed any course, counseling or treatment prescribed by the SAP prior to returning to service;
- Undergone a follow up evaluation by the same SAP to determine your compliance with their recommendations; AND
- Provided a breath and/or urine specimen that tests negative for drugs and/or alcohol prior to returning to DOT regulated safety-sensitive functions.
You will also be subject to unannounced Follow-Up testing for drugs and/or alcohol for at least 6 times during the first 12 months of active service with the possibility of unannounced testing for up to 60 months (as prescribed by the SAP). The Return-to-Duty and Follow-Up drug tests will be conducted under direct observation.

DOT Pre-employment Drug Testing
DOT Random Drug & Alcohol Testing
The Department of Transportation (DOT) requires that all covered employees be enrolled in a DOT-approved Random Consortium Selection Program. The selection of any covered employee must be made by a computerized selection process and any covered employee selected for a drug and alcohol test must immediately proceed to take the test once notified.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) determines the percentages that each consortium must select for a drug & alcohol test. As an example, the FMCSA Consortium must select 25% of its members for a drug test annually and 10% for an alcohol test.
Failing to take a random drug or alcohol test once selected can result in substantial fines and penalties by the Department of Transportation (DOT).
Accredited Drug Testing Inc provides a random selection Consortium for covered employees who are required to comply with DOT random testing requirements.
DOT Post Accident Drug & Alcohol Testing
The Department of Transportation (DOT) requires that any covered employee immediately proceed to take a drug and breath alcohol test in the event of an accident which falls under the DOT post accident drug and alcohol testing requirements.
When possible the covered employee can contact Accredited Drug Testing Inc and the drug and alcohol test can be conducted at a testing center close to where the accident occurred, however on many occasions a post accident drug and alcohol test will require an on-site/mobile drug testing service which can be provided by Accredited Drug Testing Inc.
