What is a DOT SAP Evaluation?
A DOT SAP evaluation is a federally mandated assessment required for any employee in a DOT regulated industry who has violated drug and alcohol testing regulations. This includes commercial truck drivers, bus drivers, pilots, railroad workers, and other safety-sensitive transportation workers.
The SAP evaluation is conducted by a qualified Substance Abuse Professional who is trained and certified to assess individuals under DOT regulations. The SAP determines what education or treatment is needed before the employee can return to safety-sensitive duties.
Who Needs a DOT SAP Evaluation?
You need a DOT SAP evaluation if you:
- Failed a DOT required drug or alcohol test
- Refused to take a DOT required drug or alcohol test
- Were found to have violated any DOT drug and alcohol regulations
- Are a commercial driver seeking to return to safety-sensitive duties
- Were referred by your employer or the DOT for a substance abuse evaluation
The DOT SAP Return to Duty Process
The return to duty process after a DOT drug or alcohol violation involves several steps:
- Initial SAP Evaluation — The SAP conducts a face to face evaluation to assess the nature and extent of the drug or alcohol problem
- Education or Treatment — The SAP recommends an appropriate course of education or treatment based on the evaluation
- Compliance Verification — The SAP verifies that the employee has complied with all recommended education or treatment
- Follow Up Evaluation — The SAP conducts a follow up evaluation to determine if the employee is ready to return to safety-sensitive duties
- Return to Duty Testing — The employee must pass a return to duty drug or alcohol test before resuming safety-sensitive work
- Follow Up Testing — The SAP determines a follow up testing schedule that the employee must comply with after returning to duty
