Clear answers on SAP evaluations, court assessments, and the entire process from violation to return-to-duty.
If you've violated a DOT drug and alcohol regulation — a positive test, a 0.04+ alcohol result, or a refusal to test — federal law prohibits you from performing safety-sensitive duties until you complete the SAP return-to-duty process. A SAP evaluates you, issues a referral for education or treatment, and ultimately determines when you're eligible to return to work.
Yes — all evaluations are conducted via Zoom Workplace. You'll need a phone, laptop, or tablet with a camera and microphone. Schedule on Calendly, receive your Zoom link by email, and join at your appointment time. Use the same device for email and Zoom.
