Hi how are you doing, My name is ______ I handle DOT's compliance division for the FMCSA. I am reaching out to to ensure that you comply with DOT's drug and alcohol testing requirements so that you won't be subject to any severe penalties or repercussions during an audit.
Am I speaking with (Company name)
If it is the company:
It is a pleasure speaking with you, I am aware that you may conduct random testing on your employees or that you may be required by the DOT (Department of Transportation) to conduct annual, quarterly random testing.
Ask: Do you have time to go over a few things that are required when an audit takes place?
The Department of Transportation (DOT) regularly conducts audits for companies who are expected to comply with their rules and requirements. The FMCSA requires that motor carriers (who employ drivers that are subjected to DOT drug and alcohol testing) have a compliant DOT Drug and Alcohol Policy in place. These regulated drivers MUST go over this policy with their employers and sign a policy receipt attesting to having read and understood the testing requirements. A policy will not only implement workplace safety, but the incorporation of policies and procedures additionally reduces legal disputes and litigation because they serve as the organization's manual. A system designed to keep your company in compliance at all times is essential for passing a DOT audit.
After implementing a drug free workplace policy, the next steps would be enrolling the drivers into a mandated consortium program
This would be hiring a consortium to pull out the drivers name from a computer-based system at random within
Next you have the required 2-hour reasonable suspicion training course for supervisors to detect if a driver seems impaired.
