Waag and Co. was
recently alerted to a situation regarding Department of Transportation
(DOT) drug testing requirements that may affect
your business. In the past, California Highway Patrol (CHP)
inspection units tended to focus on checking to see that DOT-regulated
drivers have been subject to random testing. Recently, some
of our clients have reported that CHP inspection officers are
also scrutinizing written DOT drug testing policies. In particular,
the CHP may be concerned with whether you have a zero-tolerance
policy, or if not, how you will respond to a positive drug
test. The CHP will also be focusing on whether or not you are
properly conducting pre-employment screening and background
investigations in accordance with DOT requirements. Waag and
Co. has experience with DOT drug testing programs, and is available
to assist you. For more information, please contact Susan S.
Waag, Esq. at Waag and Co.
