Postponement of
Part of New DOT Drug Testing Rule
[Posted 08/25/2008]
The
Department of Transportation (DOT) has decided to
delay the implementation of one of its new drug
testing provisions: 40.67(b). The other provisions
went into effect as planned on August 25, 2008.
The
provision in question deals with the requirement
that employers ensure all follow-up and
return-to-work drug tests are directly observed. The
revised effective date is November 1, 2008. DOT is
requesting a one-month commenting period on this
provision, as well.
