Breaking news! The U.S. Department of Transportation has proposed to amend the transportation industry drug testing program’s procedures to include oral fluid testing. The reasoning behind the proposal is that oral fluid collection will help combat the employee cheating that occurs with urine tests since a fluid test is given in person by swabbing the applicant’s cheek.
The solution would also provide “a more economical, less intrusive means of achieving the safety goals of the program.” The proposal includes other provisions to update the Department’s regulation, and to “harmonize, as needed, with the new Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs using Oral Fluid established by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.”
The proposal outlines the following guidelines (taken directly from the “Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs: Addition of Oral Fluid Specimen Testing for Drugs”).
