DOT-regulated businesses are responsible for ensuring their compliance with drug and alcohol testing requirements and physical exams

HealthWorks helps employers in the trucking industry and other DOT regulated businesses comply with DOT regulations.

DOT Physical Exam - The DOT physical exam helps certify a driver does not have any physical, mental or organic condition that might affect his or her ability to safely operate a commercial motor vehicle. The exam incorporates the required medical assessment (including physical exam and review of medical history) and includes the DOT medical card.

Substance Abuse Testing – HealthWorks provides NIDA approved urine testing for marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines and phencyclidine, as required by DOT. Trained clinical staff members are responsible for specimen collection and execution of all chain-of-custody documentation. Five on-site Medical Review Officers are available for test review and certification.

Evidential Breath Testing – DOT-required breath alcohol tests are performed by certified Breath Alcohol Technicians (BATs) and include both breath alcohol screening and confirmation testing, when necessary.

DOT Consortium – HealthWorks’ client companies participate with other employers to meet the Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations’ random urine controlled substances and alcohol testing regulations. This consortium for CDL/DOT drivers ensures the employers’ compliance with requirements for random testing. Quarterly random “pulls” will determine which consortium participants require testing. The low maintenance and administration fee includes the required statistical summaries and reports.
