DOT Consortium
Transportation businesses must follow strict federal guidelines when it comes to substance abuse tests. As a third party administrator with the Department of Transportation (DOT), CS of Wisconsin makes sure your company follows the rules. We manage a drug-testing consortium to meet your company’s needs and help you fully comply with federal DOT drug and alcohol testing requirements.
No employees are allowed to enter CS of Wisconsin’s consortium pool until a negative pre-employment drug test is filed with us whether or not CS of Wisconsin performs the pre-employment drug screen. Proof of a drug test that has been completed in the 12 months prior to requesting entrance into the pool is required in line with DOT regulations.
The DOT testing regulations include:
- Maintaining an accurate employee list/ pool
- Supervisor & employee drug & alcohol awareness trainings
- Registration as an employer, driver or employee of the FMSCA clearing house.
- Quarterly – random selection of employees – 50% for drug, 10% for alcohol
- Quarterly – collection compliance reports
- Drug failure timely reporting to the FMSCA clearing house
- Substance Abuse Counseling Services
- Annual MIS Compliance Form
- Mandatory blind samples for quality control
- Both local and nationwide collection sites
- Audit ready documentation
