Federal DOT Drug Test Policy Services

ARCpoint can Los Angeles assist with the creation of drug test policies for any business in various industries.

It is the Company's policy not to employ persons who use illegal drugs or abuse alcohol. Accordingly, the Company shall have the right to require an employee to submit to testing for drug and/or alcohol use as a continuing condition of employment as the Company deems necessary to the safe and efficient operation of the program. An employee who refuses to submit to drug and/or alcohol testing or who tests positive may be suspended from duty pending further investigation and may be subject to discipline, up to and including immediate discharge. Is terminology that should be included in any drug testing manual.

Let Los Angeles help your organization write your policy handbook in regards to drug and alcohol testing procedures

ARCpoint' professionally written drug policies include details on:

• Prohibitions
• Medical Review Officer (MRO) Allowances
• Testing contingencies
• Employee privacy rights
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Grace period prior to implementation
• Acknowledgement of receipt

Depending on the work environment, drug and alcohol policies can vary drastically. Some employee manuals skim over the subject lightly while others have thorough testing and tolerance standards. They all, however, encourage a drug-free work environment to promote the safety of customers and employees.

What features should a proper Drug Testing policy contain?

A. A proper Drug Testing policy should contain the following:

• The policy should contain a detailed description of what is prohibited. Can drugs be consumed at work? Alcohol? Should employees report to work when under the influence? Address all these things.
• The policy should be tailored to your work environment and the work performed.
• The policy should provide for a variety of testing contingencies, including random, post accident, and pre-employment.
• Employees should sign acknowledgements that they have received and read the policy and that they consent to testing.

Company policies also need to conform to any applicable government regulations, such as those set forth by the Department of Transportation.

Why should my company have a drug testing policy?

A. Establishing a drug testing policy helps reinforce your company as a drug-free workplace, and educates employees on what is prohibited and the consequences of breaking those prohibitions.
