THIS COURSE DOES NOT INCLUDE MOCK COLLECTIONS AS REQUIRED UNDER 49 CFR PART 40.35
The DOT Oral Fluid Collector Training course is designed to equip professionals with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to conduct DOT-compliant oral fluid collections as mandated by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). This comprehensive program is tailored to meet the needs of collectors, supervisors, and organizations adapting to the newly approved oral fluid testing procedures, effective December 5, 2024.
Why Oral Fluid Training is Essential
The DOT’s updated drug and alcohol testing procedures authorize oral fluid testing as an alternative to urine testing in various scenarios, providing enhanced detection capabilities and improved security. Oral fluid collections are now required in situations such as:
When a direct observation is mandated for individuals identifying as nonbinary or transgender.
For shy bladder scenarios or suspected tampering during urine collections.
During return-to-duty and follow-up testing as recommended by a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP).
Oral fluid testing offers faster detection of recent substance use and reduces the risk of specimen tampering, making it a critical tool for safety-sensitive industries.
