DOT drug testing requirementsWDTC Aids Businesses in Staying Compliant With National Regulations
Transportation business owners have a lot on their plates, including employee safety and government compliance. Staying up-to-date on Wisconsin DOT drug testing requirements is one of those challenges. Wisconsin Drug Testing Consortium helps businesses stay informed and complaint.
National and Wisconsin DOT drug testing requirements cover employees with a commercial driver’s license. The alcohol and drug testing regulations include requirements for testing, frequency of tests and what substances are tested for. Drivers are tested for alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, opiates, phencyclidine (PCPs), amphetamines and methamphetamines.
DOT Drug Testing Requirements Determine Frequency
- Before starting a job: An employer must receive a negative drug test result before allowing a CDL driver to operate a commercial vehicle.
- After an accident or injury: Depending on the incident and its severity, testing may be required.
- Random tests: All CDL drivers need to be part of a random drug testing pool.
- Reasonable suspicion: Employees who appear under the influence of drugs or alcohol should be tested. Two supervisors must document their suspicions before requesting the employee take a test.
- Return-to-duty: A clean drug test is required for drivers who tested positive or refused a drug test and completed their company’s return-to-duty process.
“At WDTC, we help businesses of all sizes manage their drug testing process and make sure they remain compliant. This allows owners to focus on running their business,” said WDTC President Mike Bray.
