The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), a branch of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), is dedicated to the safety and security of the nation’s energy transportation system. Navigating PHMSA Drug Testing requirements can be complex, as each operator (your employer) must monitor your compliance with regulatory requirements regularly. Many operators outsource this monitoring to auditors such as NCMS, Veriforce, DISA Monitor, and TPS Alert, and our custom-programmed software provides the necessary information for these audits. Some operators handle the monitoring themselves. Tom Allen Enterprises Inc., an experienced drug and alcohol testing service, has the expertise to guide you through these requirements.
Understanding PHMSA and Its Regulations
PHMSA oversees millions of miles of pipelines and the safe transportation of hazardous materials by land, sea, and air. The PHMSA Drug Testing program is part of the administration’s efforts to ensure the safe operation of this critical infrastructure. This program deters the use of prohibited drugs and alcohol within safety-sensitive roles in the transportation industry.
PHMSA’s drug and alcohol testing requirements are outlined in 49 CFR Part 199 regulations, which mandate pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable suspicion, return-to-duty, and follow-up testing for operators within this sector.
