The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Drug Testing Program is a comprehensive program that sets regulations and standards for drug and alcohol testing for employees who perform safety-sensitive functions in the transportation industry. The DOT’s drug testing program is designed to ensure that employees in safety-sensitive positions are drug and alcohol-free, the program applies to employees in the aviation, commercial motor vehicle carrier, pipeline, railroad, and transit industries.

Under the DOT’s drug testing program, employers must conduct pre-employment drug testing, random drug testing, DOT post-accident drug and alcohol testing, reasonable suspicion drug and alcohol testing, and return-to-duty drug and alcohol testing. The program also requires the use of certified laboratories for drug testing and certified Medical Review Officers (MROs) to review and interpret drug test results.

The DOT’s drug testing program has strict guidelines for the collection and testing of urine samples, and all testing must adhere to a strict chain of custody procedures to ensure that samples are not tampered with or contaminated. Employees who test positive for drugs or alcohol must undergo a return-to-duty process that includes counselling, education, and a follow-up drug and alcohol testing program.
