A ten-panel drug test is often tests law enforcement and occupational medicine employees. It is also used to examine if a person under legal probations violates the term of that probation. Further, many civil servants are required to pass a 10 panel drug test. This is due to the fact that their job entails dangerous work or work there the employee is responsible for the safety of others.

Post Accident Drug & Alcohol Testing

These are conducted when an employee is involved in an incident in the workplace or a company vehicle. This is to insure that the use of any illicit drugs or alcohol was not a contributing factor to the incident. For Department of Transportation related companies, this type of testing is required by DOT Rules & Regulations. Not conducting the test can incur severe fines or even legal charges.

Return-to-Duty

Return-to-Duty tests require “ direct observation”. This is only required after an employee has completed the “return-to-duty” process, and wants to return to work in a safety sensitive function. They replace the pre-employment test for any drivers who test positive or refused to be tested.

Follow-up Testing

Follow-up testing is required as prescribed by a substance abuse professional (SAP) who will also sign the return-to-duty report. These tests consist of a minimum of at least six unannounced directly observed tests conducted during the first 12 months following the return-to-duty test. A SAP can prescribe up to five years maximum of follow up tests for drivers who have tested positive or refused to test. This is in addition to any selections for random testing.

Random Testing

A random drug test is an unannounced test that CDL drivers are subject to. Even when a driver is an off-duty status at home, they may be directed to take a drug test. For random alcohol testing, the driver must be on duty or done immediately before or after driving. Drivers must immediately report to the testing location once they are notified to report for random testing. A delay in your arrival may be considered a refusal, which is equivalent to testing positive.

Pre-Employment Testing

A new driver must be drug tested and have a negative result before an employer can allow him to operate a CMV on any public road. Alcohol testing is only permitted if it applies to all CDL drivers. A driver must be pre-employment tested again if the driver is removed from a random testing pool for more than 30 days.

Reasonable Suspicion Testing

If an individual exhibits signs of drug or alcohol abuse, DOT- trained supervisors can direct them to be tested. This decision must be based on observations dealing with appearance, behavior, speech, or body odors of the driver.

Hair-Testing & Collections

Hair follicle drug tests can detect substance abuse over a 90 day period and are much harder to “cheat”. This test can be ordered by a judge for court in cases that range from probation to custody cases. For this 90 to 120 of hair are taken from either the head or the body, as close to the follicle as possible.

CONSEQUENCES OF A POSITIVE TEST RESULT

A positive test result or refusal requires the driver to be removed immediately from operating any CMV on public roadways. The employer must provide a list of acceptable SAPs to choose from to begin the “return-to-duty” process. This process must be completed before a positive or refusal driver can legally return to driving CMVs for any employer, including himself.

A positive test result can be devastating for a driver and their family. It often results in extended periods of unemployment, due to the necessary time to complete the “return-to-duty” process with a qualified SAP and the tendency of employers not to hire drivers with drug or alcohol histories.
