The Department of Transportation is launching an effort to add the synthetic opioid fentanyl along with norfentanyl to its drug testing panels.

“Fentanyl accounts for a large proportion of overdose deaths in the United States and is therefore an important public safety concern,” DOT noted in a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking published Sept. 2 in the Federal Register. “Furthermore, fentanyl is increasingly used as a stand-alone substance of abuse, not in conjunction with he**in and other substances as was common in the past.”

So what type of accident requires a federal post-accident drug and alcohol test?
DOT federal post-accident drug testing of your driver is required in the following situations:

When there are one or more human fatalities
At least one individual requires medical attention away from the scene
The driver receives a citation for a moving violation
When at least one vehicle incurs disabling damage and cannot be driven from the scene and
receives a citation for a moving violation
A CDL driver should complete the alcohol test within 2 hours but must be completed within 8 hours-be sure to document the reason for any delay. Drug tests should be completed as soon as possible but must be completed within 32 hours.

I was involved in a very serious accident on a late Saturday evening, being 1300 mi from home on a Saturday evening and wanting to stay DOT compliant with the amount of hours I had to take the test I was kind of lost. I reached out to them they said no problem what way are you headed we will meet you. They drove over an hour to me and we took the test I was literally parked on a County Road in the Everglades. I give VITAL 5 Stars only because I can't give them any more and they're representative Christopher B that met me I give him 10 Stars. I would also like to add the miles they had to drive and knowing the cost of the test their prices were very reasonable.

What’s the best tool employers have for deterring drug and alcohol use in the workplace?
Random Testing. And, here are just a few of the reasons why:
· Saves lives and prevents injuries.
· Helps employers identify workers with substance abuse issues and facilitate their treatment.
· Allows employees to easily say no to illegal drug use. "No, thanks. They drug test at work.”
· Reduces employer liability
