DOT Drug Abuse: 07. Refused or Failed Drug Tests

When it comes to managing a DOT drug testing program, it’s likely that – at some point – you’ll have an employee refuse drug testing. Even more disappointing, you may have an employee fail a drug test. As you probably already know, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) mandates drug testing of all safety-sensitive employees.

In this video, you’ll learn more about what it means for an employee to refuse or fail a drug test and your obligations as a supervisor.
