EAP's -
The Department of
Transportation’s (DOT) rule, 49 CFR Part 40, describes required procedures for
conducting workplace drug and alcohol testing for the federally regulated
transportation industry. When an employee has violated a DOT drug and alcohol
regulation, they must be immediately removed from safety-sensitive functions and
cannot again perform any DOT covered safety-sensitive duties for any employer until they complete a Return-JTo-Duty process. The first
step in this process is an evaluation by a qualified Substance Abuse
Professional (SAP). There are strict DOT
requirements that must be met in order for an individual to perform SAP
services. These cover four areas: credentials, knowledge, training and
examination. Evaluations performed by a non-qualified
SAP will not be accepted by the DOT and will delay the employee’s return to
performing safety-sensitive duties. In
addition, stiff fines may be imposed on an employer who uses a non-qualified SAP
in the Return-To-Duty process. EAP's can have complete confidence in my credentials
