Because of the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991, all transportation workers must submit to having DOT Drug Testing Chapmanville WV. Whether you are in the aviation, railroad, trucking or other transportation fields, you are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing annually and after any incident occurs. There are specific rules and regulations governing how this testing is carried out.
DOT testing is required before you are employed, annually, randomly and after any type of accident or injury occurs. To be DOT qualified, you must pass all portions of the test, which tests for:
* Amphetamines
* Marijuana
* Delta-9-carboxy THC
* Cocaine
* Benzoylecgonine
* vOpiates
* Codeine
* Morphine
* PCP
* Phencyclidine
To pass the DOT Drug Testing Chapmanville WV, you must meet or be below the following cutoffs:
* 15 ng/ml of marijuana
* 150 ng/ml cocaine
* 2000 ng/ml opiates
* 25 ng/ml phencyclidine
* 500 ng/ml amphetamines
If your urine sample tests higher than these cutoffs, the sample will be sent back to the lab for confirmation. If the test is confirmed, you must work with a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP). You will go through the entire return-to-duty process before you are allowed perform any duties on the job that are considered safety-sensitive. While a failure of DOT drug testing does not necessarily mean you will lose your job, each company and corporation has different policies in dealing with drug testing results. You will need to speak with your employer on the ramifications of any drug testing failure, so you will know what to expect.
It is important to note, you will also be listed as failing the testing if you refuse to be tested. If your job requires DOT drug testing, you do not have the right to refuse. Most companies see this as an admission to guilt and it can lead to you losing your job.
