FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Compliance

 The FMCSA requires pre-employment drug testing for all CDL drivers before they can perform safety-sensitive functions, such as operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV). This test must be conducted before the driver’s first dispatch and must include screening for controlled substances under 49 CFR Part 382.301. Employers must receive a negative test result before allowing a driver to operate.  

 High Mountain Safety can help your company train and audit your FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse compliance to ensure your drivers and administrative staff understand their responsibilities. We provide training on conducting required queries, reporting violations, and managing return-to-duty processes. Our audits will help identify gaps in compliance, ensuring your company avoids penalties and remains in good standing with FMCSA regulations. Let us help you streamline Clearinghouse management and maintain a safe, compliant workforce. 

  High Mountain Safety offers Reasonable Suspicion Training to help supervisors and managers identify the signs of drug and alcohol use in the workplace, as required by FMCSA regulations. Under §382.603 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, each person responsible for supervising drivers must receive at least one hour of training on controlled substances abuse and an additional hour of training on alcohol misuse. Our training covers behavioral, physical, and performance indicators that may suggest impairment, ensuring your team knows when and how to take action. We provide real-world scenarios and clear procedures to help employers confidently enforce drug and alcohol policies while maintaining compliance. Let us equip your team with the knowledge to keep your workplace and fleet safe.
