DOT SAP Program Services
At On-Time Screening & SAP Services, we offer a comprehensive DOT Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) Program designed to support employers and employees in navigating the process of returning to work after a drug or alcohol violation. Our program ensures full compliance with DOT regulations (49 CFR Part 40), guiding employees through the required steps to regain their eligibility to return to safety-sensitive duties while maintaining a drug-free workplace.
What is the DOT SAP Program?
The DOT SAP Program is a federally mandated program for employees in safety-sensitive positions who have violated drug or alcohol policies. The program involves a comprehensive evaluation by a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), who assesses the employee’s substance abuse issues and recommends an appropriate treatment plan. After completing the recommended treatment and follow-up evaluations, employees are eligible to return to work, provided they pass a return-to-duty drug test.

How the DOT SAP Program Works
-
Substance Abuse Evaluation: After an employee fails a drug or alcohol test, they must undergo an evaluation by a qualified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP). The SAP conducts an in-depth assessment to understand the employee’s substance abuse issues and recommends a treatment or counseling program.
-
Treatment Recommendations: Based on the evaluation, the SAP will suggest a treatment plan tailored to the employee’s specific needs. This may include counseling, therapy, or educational programs aimed at addressing the underlying causes of substance use.
-
Follow-Up Evaluation: After completing the prescribed treatment plan, the employee must undergo a follow-up evaluation with the SAP to determine whether they are fit to return to work in a safety-sensitive position.
-
Return-to-Duty Drug Test: Once the SAP has cleared the employee and recommends a return to work, they must pass a return-to-duty drug test to confirm they are free from alcohol or drugs before resuming their safety-sensitive duties.
-
Ongoing Monitoring & Follow-Up: Even after returning to work, the employee will be subject to random, unannounced drug and alcohol tests for up to 12 months, as part of the follow-up monitoring process to ensure long-term sobriety.
Why is the DOT SAP Program Important?
-
Safety: The SAP process ensures that employees who return to safety-sensitive positions are fit for duty and drug-free, protecting the safety of the workplace and the public.
-
Regulatory Compliance: For companies in safety-sensitive industries, the DOT SAP Program is required by federal regulations, helping to avoid fines, penalties, or legal issues.
-
Employee Support: The SAP program offers employees a path to rehabilitation and recovery, helping them address substance abuse issues and return to productive, safe work environments.
-
Liability Reduction: By ensuring that employees are sober and fit for duty, the program reduces the risk of accidents, injuries, and liability claims associated with drug or alcohol impairment.
