In the complex world of drug and alcohol testing, statistical reporting is an indispensable tool. Whether you operate
within the Department of Transportation (DOT) regulated sectors such as the FMCSA, FAA, PHMSA, FTA, NRC, and
USCG, or non-DOT industries, maintaining and leveraging accurate data is paramount to ensure compliance and
foster a drug-free workplace. Tom Allen Enterprises Inc., with its extensive experience in drug testing services,
understands the importance of statistical reporting in this sphere.
Most other TPAs require their clients to do their own
reporting both to auditors (NCMS, Veriforce, DISA, TPS Alert and many others). They also require their clients to
calculate data and complete their own MIS reports. For most companies, this is a very time-consuming and
complicated process. Tom Allen Enterprises does this difficult work for our clients providing accurate, timely reports
and maintaining these records for future reference. In this blog post, we will delve into the pivotal role that statistical
reporting plays in drug testing and how Tom Allen Enterprises Inc. helps companies leverage this crucial resource.
The Importance of Statistical Reporting in Drug Testing
Statistical reporting in drug testing provides a comprehensive overview of the testing process and results. It outlines
the number of tests conducted, the type of tests (pre-employment, post-accident, random, reasonable suspicion, and
follow-up), the drugs tested for, and the test results. More importantly, it offers valuable insights into the prevalence of
drug use within the organization, which can guide policy and training initiatives.
Under DOT regulations, employers are required to submit an annual MIS report that includes statistical data on their
drug and alcohol testing programs. Information contained in these reports also determines future random testing rates
for each DOT mode. These reports help regulatory bodies ensure that employers are complying with drug testing
regulations and maintaining a safe work environment. They are also essential during DOT audits.
Leveraging Statistical Reporting with Tom Allen Enterprises Inc.
At Tom Allen Enterprises Inc., we offer robust Statistical Reporting for Drug Testing to aid your compliance efforts and
inform your policy decisions. Our reports adhere to the requirements outlined in the 49CFR Part 40, Part 199, and Part
382. They provide a transparent and thorough account of your drug testing procedures and results, which is invaluable
during a DOT Audit or an NCMS, Veriforce, TPS Alert, DISA, or ISNetworld compliance review.
Through these reports, we provide employers with a clear understanding of their testing program’s scope and
effectiveness. This data can reveal trends and patterns that could point to systemic issues requiring targeted
interventions, such as Reasonable Suspicion Supervisor Training or DER Training Services.
For instance, if statistical reporting reveals a higher-than-average rate of positive post-accident drug tests, it might
suggest the need for additional safety measures or training programs. Similarly, a spike in positive tests within a
specific department may indicate a need for targeted education and intervention within that team.
More Than Just Numbers
While compliance is crucial, statistical reporting offers more than just a path to meeting regulatory requirements. It
provides employers with a valuable tool to gauge the effectiveness of their Drug Testing Policy and inform the
necessary amendments. It also supports the development of a workplace culture that prioritizes safety and health,
thereby boosting employee morale and productivity.
