The simple answer? To assess your risk level either to yourself or to others. Individuals who are required to complete a SAP Evaluation have been found in violation of the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) drug and alcohol regulations. These employees work in fields where safety is of the utmost importance, which is why they have strict rules regarding substance use.
Why a SAP Evaluation Matters
A SAP evaluation is more than a box to check after a DOT violation. It’s a structured and
federally regulated process designed to ensure that employees are safe, informed, and fit to
return to work.
A SAP Evaluation helps to:
● Identify whether there is a pattern of substance use that could jeopardize public safety
● Provide individualized recommendations for treatment or education
● Ensure that employees meet federal safety standards before returning to duty
