DOT SAP Evaluations Near Ventura
What is a DOT SAP Evaluation?
Certain employees in the transportation industry are subject to federal drug and/or alcohol testing regulations under the Federal Department of Transportation (DOT). An employee who violates these regulations must be immediately removed from safety-sensitive functions until he/she successfully completes the DOT return to duty process.
In my role as a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), I act as the service agent responsible for overseeing this process. I am experienced in doing SAP evaluations for the Department of Transportation since the inception of DOT guidelines in 1995 for the following agencies:
- Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)
- Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
- Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
- Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
- Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA)
- United States Coast Guard (USCG)
