Answers to Your FAQs About Non-DOT Drug Testing
We’re Always Here to Help Educate and Guide Clients
How is non-DOT drug testing used?
It’s completely up to you how you want to administer your drug and alcohol testing to be sure you’re paying close attention to costs and timing. Most employers rely on non-DOT drug and alcohol testing for:
- Pre-employment drug testing: This is when you have a prospective employee complete a drug screening before they’re officially onboarded. This might be the one and only time you ask someone to complete drug testing, or it could become more regular.
- Random drug testing: When employers conduct random drug tests, a computer program (or consortium/third-party administrator) selects employees for testing randomly without any form of prior notice, and the employers use computerized random number generators to ensure each employee is equally likely to be selected.
What kinds of drug tests do you use for non-DOT substance screening?
While DOT tests are currently always urine tests, you can do whatever feels right for your workplace safety needs. If the “whatever” part has you confused, it’s time to find a guide like your PROCOM partner. We can create a drug and alcohol program for you, complete with training, implementation, and management. Here are the top methods of non-DOT testing we recommend:
Urine tests
With this method, the employee provides a urine sample that can be tested for just one substance or many, but because of the privacy required to go to the bathroom, there’s room for error or sample tampering.
Saliva
Employees have the inside of their mouth swabbed like you would get from your doctor. While this method may seem invasive to some, there’s no risk of tampering. Saliva tests only show what substances someone has used in a 48-hour period.
Hair Follicle
Hair follicle is tamper-resistant, but it’s more costly than a urine drug test. A couple hundred hair follicles are removed close to the scalp where suspected drug use would be deposited into the hair shaft. This test provides a clear picture of significant drug use for as long as three to six months.
Breathalyzer
Having someone blow into a breathalyzer can detect alcohol use fairly quickly, and the results are very accurate. While this method is highly accurate for alcohol, effective technology has not been developed for other substances.
Can you help customize a drug testing program for my business?
Yes, we work closely with you to design a customized drug testing program that meets the specific needs of your industry and workforce. We’ll take the time to understand what you’re looking for and what issues you may have had with substance abuse, and provide training that’s not boring.
You can partner with PROCOM as your Third-Party Administrator (TPA) to help you implement a compliant, effective, and seamless consortium program designed for random drug and alcohol abuse testing. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, but we can help you create something tailored to your industry needs.
Can you provide support after the drug screening is complete?
PROCOM will be there for you every step of the way, even after we’ve collected samples for your non-DOT drug testing efforts. We take pride in our comprehensive customer service and support and make ourselves available to you, especially in an accident or emergency situation.
You’ll be able to lean on us for interpretations of your employee drug testing results or speak with us about updating your drug and alcohol policy for future development. Ask PROCOM for assistance with any follow-up actions required after drug screenings are conducted.
