When Is Federal DOT Testing Necessary?
Federal DOT testing is required under various circumstances, such as after an accident involving an employee (post-accident testing), when there is reasonable suspicion of substance misuse, or when an employee returns to work following a failed DOT drug or alcohol test (return-to-duty/follow-up testing). Employers are also obligated to perform random drug and alcohol testing to maintain compliance.
