Where are DOT-regulated employees tested for substance abuse?
A collection site is the simple answer. As long as it meets the applicable Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements, a collection site may be in a medical facility, mobile facility, a dedicated collection facility or any other location. Per DOT regulations, the facility must employ qualified collectors and provide the donor with substantial privacy while urinating. Collection sites must also have all the necessary personnel, supervision, materials, equipment and facilities to provide for the temporary storage and shipping of the specimen to the laboratory.
