SAP Referrals and Questions

Question A: My driver just tested positive on a random test; so am I required to pay for the Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) services? The answer is No.

Question B: Are employers required to provide intervention and treatment for drivers who have a substance abuse problem or only refer drivers to be evaluated by an SAP?

382.605 Guidance for SAP Referrals

Answer: An employer who wants to continue to use or hire a driver who has violated the prohibitions in subpart B in the past must ensure that a driver has complied with any SAP’s recommended treatment prior to the driver returning to safety-sensitive functions. However, employers must only refer a SAP – to drivers who have tested positive for controlled substances, tested 0.04 or greater alcohol concentration, or have violated other prohibitions in subpart B.

We suggest that companies address this issue in their company drug and alcohol testing policy.
