Price is dependent upon the number of panels needed.
Service Description
A "non-DOT" drug test refers to a drug screening that is not regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). A non-DOT drug test, in contrast, is not bound by these federal regulations and can vary more in terms of what it screens for, how it's administered, and what the consequences might be. Here are the primary distinctions: Scope of Application: DOT testing is mandatory for safety-sensitive transportation employees, as defined by DOT. Non-DOT testing can be applied to any other job position or scenario, as required by the employer, or in some cases, by state laws or other regulations. Substances Tested For: While DOT testing has a specific panel of drugs that must be screened for (such as marijuana, cocaine, opioids, amphetamines, and phencyclidine), non-DOT tests might have a different or broader range of substances, depending on the employer's requirements. Testing Procedures: DOT tests have strict procedures for the collection, handling, and testing of samples, and these must be followed precisely. Non-DOT test might not have such stringent guidelines, although many employers opt to follow best practices for accuracy and validity. Consequences: DOT testing has specific consequences for positive results, including mandatory removal from safety-sensitive functions and guidelines for return-to-duty processes. Non-DOT test consequences are usually determined by the employer's policies or any applicable state/local regulations. Privacy Considerations: Both DOT and non-DOT tests must adhere to applicable privacy laws and guidelines, but DOT tests have specific chain-of-custody and record-keeping requirements. While the DOT has established specific regulations for its drug testing program, it's essential to recognize that non-DOT tests can still be legally mandated or allowed in many contexts. Some states, for instance, have laws governing drug testing for certain positions or industries, while other tests might be at the discretion of the employer.
