NOTE: Employers (and C/TPAs) subject to more than one DOT Agency drug and alcohol testing rule may continue to combine covered employees into a single random selection pool.
USCG covered employees may be combined with DOT covered employees in drug testing pools even though the USCG is now part of the Department of Homeland Security.
WorkforceQA will manage your DOT Random Drug & Alcohol testing program. The pools can be customized by job classification, geography, job function and other criteria. With our DOT compliant random management, clients benefit from:
- Scientifically generated and legally defensible random selections
- Random test scheduling assistance
- Annual random progress tracking
- Ability to customize frequency, rates, and transmission
