DOT Urine Lab Based Testing
EBI conducts lab based urine drug testing based on the panel specifications required by DOT CFR Part 40 and conducted on a pre-employment, random and post-accident/for basis as required by the DOT. Samples are collected through one of our 15,000 plus collection sites and clinics. Each sample is analyzed through a SAMSHA certified laboratory and reviewed by a MRO for accuracy and compliance. All results are delivered through our secure state-of-the-art technology for enhanced security.
The following is a sample of DOT requirements for urine based drug testing:
- All testing is conducted in conjunction and in compliance with DOT regulations per CFR Part 40. (§ 40.3)
- The DOT testing at HHS-certified laboratories will continue to be a 5-panel drug test regimen, on and after October 1, 2010. The 5-panel regimen will remain::
