Return-to-Duty Process

Return to duty safely and with confidence.

  • Send SAP request

    Once a driver with a verified DOT program violation is prohibited from performing safety-sensitive functions, the employer provides the driver with a list of DOT-qualified SAPs. The driver selects their SAP from this list or based on their research.

  • SAP Designated

    Once a driver makes contact with a DOT-qualified SAP and agrees to participate in their program, their request is accepted, and their SAP has officially been designated. Your designated SAP will guide you through the process.

  • Initial SAP Assessment

    The next step requires the driver to meet with their SAP provider for a face-to-face clinical SAP Evaluation to determine return-to-duty status. Once the assessment is complete, the SAP will update and complete the required assessment.

  • Driver Determined Eligible for RTD test

    Your SAP will make clinical recommendations to you. You must comply with the treatment(s) and educational requests given to you to receive a Return to Duty Letter and become eligible for RTD testing.

  • RTD Test with Negative Results

    You will then be sent for an RTD test by your current or prospective employer. Once the driver can produce a negative RTD test result, they are no longer prohibited from performing safety-sensitive functions.

  • Follow-Up Testing Plan Completed

    Once a driver has returned to work, any employer that employs this driver during the prescribed time will be responsible for completing the return-to-duty testing plan created by their designated SAP.

Drugs and Alcohol Awareness- Substance Abuse and Addiction

Do you need help now? The Drug Helpline at 1-844-289-0879 is a free, confidential, 24/7 drug and alcohol hotline that can help you start your journey towards a better future.

Substance abuse may start out as a bad habit, but it can quickly become a harmful disease that can potentially overpower your entire life. The use and abuse of alcohol and drugs are serious health issues that should not be ignored or minimized. If left untreated, substance abuse can develop into drug dependence also known as alcoholism. Alcohol is so addictive that a person can become so dependent on it that without it, seizures or death can occur. As a result, it is important to recognize the signs and symptoms of alcohol and drug addiction early. 

Addiction is defined as the obsessive, compulsive use of a substance despite the problems and even harm it causes in your life. If you feel you can’t control your consumption/use of drugs or alcohol and you experience urges or cravings for the substance, you may be addicted. Recreational drug use and the abuse of any drug can lead to drug addiction.

Overview of DOT Drug & Alcohol Use/Misuse Rules

What Safety Sensitive Professionals Need to Know

The United States Congress recognized the need for a drug and alcohol free transportation industry, and in 1991 passed the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act, requiring DOT agencies to implement drug and alcohol testing of safety-sensitive transportation employees. 49 CFR Part 40, or simply, Part 40, is a DOT-wide regulation that states how to conduct testing and how to return employees to safety-sensitive duties after they violate a DOT drug and alcohol regulation. Part 40 applies to all DOT-required testing, regardless of mode of transportation. For example, whether you are an airline employee covered by FAA rules or a trucking company driver covered by FMCSA rules, Part 40 procedures for collecting and testing specimens and reporting of test results apply to you. 

Each DOT Agency-specific regulation spells out who is subject to testing, when and in what situations for a particular transportation industry. 

Since the early 1990s, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and its predecessor agency has defined drug and alcohol testing rules and regulations for employees who drive commercial trucks and buses that require a commercial driver's license (CDL). The purpose of these regulations is to identify who is subject to testing, when they are tested and in what situations. The regulations also impose privacy protections and restrictions on employers and service agents against the use and release of sensitive drug and alcohol testing information. 

The FMCSA controlled substances and alcohol use and testing regulations can be found at 49 CFR Part 382.

The DOT requires safety sensitive professionals to comply with the rules and regulations dictated by the DOT. The DOT’s responsibility is public safety. The DOT Safety Sensitive Professional is SAFETY FIRST. DOT enforcement agencies conduct regular audits or investigations at the different entities employing safety sensitive employees.

DOT training requirements address admission-level training, education/instruction on drug and alcohol testing requirements, and longer comprehensive training (if applicable).
