The Substance Abuse Program (DOT) is a special service that must be requested by the customer at a contract level or adhoc as it requires the US Workplace Support team to follow the rigor process of a US SAP (DOT) case. In the US, this service is required for those who are in violation of the Department of Transportation (DOT) regulation due to a positive drug screen for any of the following DOT tests; pre-employment, random, reasonable suspicion, post-accident, return to work or a follow-up.
As a result, DOT regulated employees need to be assessed by a Qualified DOT Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) that has received the proper training and is up to date with their SAP credential. This service is also available for customers with non-DOT regulated employees who are in violation of an internal SA policy. These cases are to mirror the US SAP (DOT) process from beginning to end.
