Drug & Alcohol Testing
PDSS offers both DOT and Non-DOT drug and alcohol testing and collection services. All DOT testing complies with 49 CFR Part 40, specific DOT modal regulations and DHHS Specimen Collection Procedure Guidelines. PDSS recommends mirroring DOT regulations for your Non-DOT drug and alcohol testing programs as well. PDSS only uses SAMHSA Certified Laboratories to conduct all drug testing.
TPA Management
As your Third Party Administrator (TPA), PDSS can manage all, or part, of your drug and alcohol testing program. DOT refers to TPAs that manage DOT testing programs as “service agents.”
DOT Consortium
“Consortium” is defined by DOT’s FMCSA regulations as including, but not limited to, a group of employers who join together to administer DOT drug and alcohol testing programs. A Consortium is managed by a “service agent” referred to as a C/TPA. Consortia offer the ability for multiple DOT employers to pool together their DOT employees with other like companies to facilitate their random testing program.
Medical Review Officer
Required by DOT regulations and recommended for Non DOT, the MRO is a licensed physician, specializing in drug testing results. The MRO is an impartial “gatekeeper” responsible for receiving and reviewing the accuracy and integrity of laboratory results generated by an employer’s drug testing program and evaluating medical explanations for certain drug test results. The MRO determines if there is a legitimate medical explanation for a laboratory confirmed positive or other drug test results.
SAP Services
A Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) is a person who evaluates employees who have violated a DOT drug and alcohol program regulation and makes recommendations concerning education, treatment, follow-up testing, and aftercare. At PDSS, our SAP has more than 25 years of experience performing DOT Substance Abuse assessments as required by DOT.
