DOT publishes guidance for updating drug and alcohol policies in light of recent opioid testing update

Posted on 12/14/2017 by Corporate Communications Department

Tags : DOT Compliance

On Jan. 1, 2018, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) will expand its current panel to require testing for semi-synthetic opioids. The semi-synthetic drugs that must be tested for are:  hydrocodone, hydromorphone, oxymorphone, and oxycodone. 

To assist DOT-regulated employers with updating their drug and alcohol policies to comply with these new requirements, the DOT published a guidance notice on Dec. 1. The guidance can be found here.

For more information on the DOT’s updated drug testing panel, please see our previous News to Note.
