Non-DOT Oral Fluid Collector Training

Non-DOT Oral Fluid Specimen Collector Training is designed for anyone collecting oral fluid samples for drug testing, including healthcare professionals, collection sites, in-house testing personnel, and urgent care centers. The course was created by attorney Andrew Easler, Esq., a subject matter expert in drug testing and drug-free workplaces. Training will prepare learners with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to conduct oral fluid drug testing, and learners who successfully complete the training will receive a downloadable certificate evidencing proof of training and qualification. 

This course focuses on two primary types of oral fluid sample collections: instant testing and laboratory-based collections. Learners will become knowledgeable in the different drugs that can be detected, their detection times, and the importance of correct handling and chain of custody to prevent errors and fatal flaws.

Non-DOT oral fluid tests are used by employers not governed by DOT regulations. The substances that an oral fluid test can detect may vary depending on the specific brand and technology of the test. However, here is what a standard oral fluid collection can test for:

• Amphetamines (includes Methamphetamine, MDMA)
• Cocaine
• Marijuana (THC)
• Opiates (includes Heroin, Morphine, Codeine)
• Phencyclidine (PCP)
• Benzodiazepines
• Barbiturates
• Methadone
• Oxycodone

With a flexible online format, the training takes about 2-to-4 hours and includes virtual mock demonstrations to provide a hands-on experience, with all training materials provided by Worktraining.com. Students learn independently through various resources, including videos, reference documents, and live training over a webcam. Training also covers the benefits and legal implications of oral fluid testing, such as its non-invasive nature, privacy considerations, and rapid testing.

This course ensures collectors are thoroughly prepared to conduct accurate and reliable oral fluid drug testing and are provided with the necessary knowledge and skills to implement Non-DOT oral fluid drug testing professionally, following best industry practices.
