SAP stands for Substance Abuse Professional. This individual is responsible for providing safety-sensitive employees with a SAP Evaluation when they are found in violation of the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) drug and alcohol regulations.
A SAP Evaluation is a comprehensive clinical assessment conducted by a DOT-qualified specialist. It is required by 49 CFR Part 40 for any employee who has tested positive on a DOT drug or alcohol test, refused testing, or otherwise violated DOT drug and alcohol rules.
The process includes:
- An initial face-to-face evaluation
- A recommendation for treatment and/or education
- A follow-up evaluation to determine readiness to return to duty
- Development of a Tailored Return-to-Duty (RTD) Plan
Benefits of a DOT SAP Evaluation
- Structured Path Back to Work
- Early Identification of Substance Use Issues
- Personalized Treatment and Education Plan
- Accountability and Progress Monitoring
- Promotes Safer Workplaces and Public Roads
- Preserves Employment Opportunities
