Alcohol and Drug Testing

Any person who operates a commercial motor vehicle, or who is required by state law to have a commercial drivers license to perform his/her job duties, is covered by the Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration drug and alcohol testing requirements and by Risk Management policy. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Full time, regularly employed drivers, operators, mechanics or dispatchers of commercial motor vehicles,
• Full time employees who are intermittent or occasional drivers, operators, mechanics or dispatchers of commercial motor vehicles,
• Hourly, casual, or temporary drivers, operators, mechanics or dispatchers of commercial motor vehicles,
• Students and volunteers who drive commercial motor vehicles.

Note the above definition (which comes from Federal regulations) includes mechanics and dispatchers.

Our program consists of:

• Pre-employment testing
• Random drug and alcohol tests
• Post accident testing (if the accident involves injury or either vehicle needs towed from the scene because of damages)
• Training

If your campus or department has CDL drivers or is filling a position that requires a CDL license you MUST contact our office about the CDL program. Failure to meet the Federal requirements for CDL testing is a serious violation.
