5 Year All-Inclusive Consortium Enrollment

This service is particularly advantageous for smaller organizations that may not have the capacity to handle their own testing programs. By enrolling in our 5-year consortium, you gain peace of mind knowing you meet all DOT requirements while benefiting from cost efficiency and streamlined administration.

Why would I need an all-inclusive consortium enrollment?
An all-inclusive consortium enrollment is essential for employers, especially in DOT-regulated industries, to: Ensure compliance with federal and state regulations that mandate random and other drug and alcohol testing. Streamline the testing process, providing a one-stop solution for all testing needs, including scheduling, recordkeeping, and compliance management. Reduce administrative burdens, as the consortium manages the random selection process, testing notifications, and documentation. Maintain workplace safety by monitoring and addressing substance use among employees in safety-sensitive roles. Provide flexibility for employers needing to adjust their testing program based on business growth or regulatory changes. This program is particularly suitable for employers who need comprehensive support to manage and comply with DOT drug and alcohol testing regulations.
How does the random testing process work in the all-inclusive consortium?
The consortium manages the entire random testing process: Random Selection: Employees in safety-sensitive roles are placed in a pool, and the consortium randomly selects individuals for testing at intervals throughout the year, following DOT guidelines. Notification: Employers receive notifications about selected employees, and testing must occur promptly (typically within a specified timeframe, such as 24 hours). Documentation and Reporting: The consortium documents the random selections and testing outcomes to maintain compliance with DOT requirements. Confidentiality: All random testing selections and results are managed confidentially to protect employee privacy. This automated and managed approach reduces the administrative workload for employers while ensuring compliance.
Is the consortium suitable for non-DOT regulated employers?
Yes, while the all-inclusive consortium is particularly designed for DOT-regulated employers who must comply with federal regulations, it is also suitable for non-DOT-regulated employers who wish to implement a comprehensive drug and alcohol testing program. Employers outside the DOT can customize the testing parameters (e.g., frequency and type of tests) based on company policies and industry standards.
What are the benefits of enrolling in the all-inclusive consortium?
The benefits include: Full compliance with regulations, minimizing the risk of fines, penalties, or operational disruptions. Reduced administrative burden, as the consortium handles the logistics of testing, recordkeeping, and compliance tracking. Access to a nationwide network of certified testing facilities for convenient scheduling and testing. Comprehensive support with updates on regulatory changes and guidance on policy implementation. Cost efficiency, as the all-inclusive model provides a one-stop solution for all drug and alcohol testing needs, potentially saving costs compared to managing each aspect separately. Employers gain peace of mind knowing that their program is fully managed and compliant, promoting a safe and drug-free workplace.
