The process
Understanding the DOT Return-to-Duty Process
Six steps, defined by 49 CFR Part 40. Here's what each one actually looks like — in plain language.
- 01
Failed or Refused Test
After a positive DOT drug test, refusal, or alcohol violation, FMCSA requires an evaluation by a Qualified SAP before returning to safety-sensitive work.
- 02
Initial SAP Evaluation
A secure telehealth clinical evaluation to understand your history and recommend an appropriate course of education or treatment.
- 03
Education or Treatment
You complete the recommended plan. We coordinate with providers and track your progress so nothing falls through the cracks.
- 04
Follow-Up SAP Evaluation
Once you've completed the plan, we conduct a follow-up evaluation to verify compliance and determine readiness for return-to-duty testing.
- 05
Return-to-Duty Testing
With a compliant follow-up report, your employer schedules an observed return-to-duty test. Your Clearinghouse record is updated accordingly.
- 06
Follow-Up Testing Plan
A minimum of six unannounced tests in the first 12 months, with continued monitoring for up to five years as directed.
