Workplace testing under your own policy.
A non-DOT collection follows your written policy rather than the DOT rule. Your policy sets the panel and reasons for test, within state law and the laboratory's requirements; we apply the same collection discipline and documentation either way.
What you decide.
What is tested for
Your policy sets the panel and cut-offs, within state law and what the laboratory offers. We collect to it and document what was collected.
When somebody is tested
Pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable suspicion or return to work — whichever your policy provides for.
Urine, hair or oral fluid
Whichever your policy calls for. Documented to your policy’s own requirements — not on the federal forms, and not under DOT procedure.
The one thing that must never blur.
A non-DOT test is not a DOT test
§40.13(a) puts it plainly: DOT tests must be completely separate from non-DOT tests in all respects. A non-DOT collection is never documented on the federal form or recorded as though it were federally regulated.
Hair is non-DOT only
Hair, and point-of-collection or instant testing, are not authorized for DOT testing under §40.210. They are available under your own policy, and are kept clearly separate from anything federally regulated.
State law still applies
Non-DOT testing is governed by state law and by your own policy, and those vary. We collect to the policy you give us; whether that policy is right for your state is a question for your own adviser.
