dot hair test

bigjeff123 · 04-27-2006, 11:15 PM

Just wondering if there is anything different to know about for a dept. of transportation required hair test from hair test given to any other profession. I have seen it mentioned in some posts where someone has described the test they are taking as a non dot test, so it just got me thinking a little if there was a difference in cut off levels or procedure or anything?

Thanks

A hair test is a hair test. On the urine test forum there is mention of non-DOT test, but I don't recall a specific DOT hair test.If I am mistaken I am sure I will be corrected. I don't think DOT uses hair test.

The dot has started using hair tests and they are now required for most dot regulated preemployment drug screens. I found a link explaining it a little.

I'm assuming it's just a standard test that the dot has approved for it's testing. Does anyone know if the pdt-90 is up to these standards or has been approved for dot testing?

Nowhere in that article states that DOT has adopted hair testing. The reason is this: DOT is currently collecting urine samples only, under 49CFR Part 40 of the DOT regulations. (These regulations can be found by following this link here: http://www.dot.gov/ost/dapc/NEW_DOCS/part40.html?proc )

Even the SP articles paragragh on hair testing begins this way:

Quote:

Separately from urine specimen testing, it should be pointed out that testing of hair has become increasingly accepted, although not officially combined in federally mandated programs.

.

If any alternative testing methods were to be adopted by DOT or other Federal agencys, there would have to be a set of guidelines and protocols that would have to be adhered to by those participating in such programs, as it would be for urine sample collections. The guidelines have to be followed or else the test results are void. Since there are no guidelines implemented, re. hair testing, employers cannot conduct "DOT hair tests".

With all this being said, if youre taking a hair test, its not DOT-regulated. Nothing can be regulated without regulations to go by.

Thanks for the confirmation. I knew someone would show up and either confirm or correct my answer. I do believe it won't be long before they do adopt hair testing but I could only find urine testing as you said.
have a good one.
