Random DOT Drug Testing Programs for Colorado Motor Carriers

A random testing program is an ongoing compliance responsibility, not a once-a-year event. Covered employers need a defensible selection and notification process.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Random selections must be scientifically valid, unannounced and spread reasonably throughout the year. Employers must also meet current agency testing rates.

WHAT TO KNOW

Motor carriers should maintain an accurate driver pool, complete selections within the assigned period, protect confidentiality and keep required records. Owner-operators are generally required to participate through a consortium or third-party administrator.

WHO THIS IS FOR

The rules apply to employers with drivers performing FMCSA-regulated safety-sensitive functions and to covered owner-operators.
