DOT Substance Abuse Professional
SAP OVERVIEW
What is SAP?
A Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) evaluates safety-sensitive employees who have violated DOT drug and alcohol regulations. SAPs play a critical role in ensuring public safety by enforcing the Département of Transprotation (DOT) and the Office of Drug and Alcohol Policy and Compliance (ODAPC) guidelines for safety-sensitive workers.
Why Do You Need an SAP?
DOT safety-sensitive employees who violate drug and alcohol regulations must undergo an evaluation by a qualified SAP. The SAP assesses the employee’s situation and recommends treatment or education to ensure they are fit to resume their duties safely. Compliance with this process is mandatory for returning to work in safety-sensitive roles, reducing risks, and promoting public safety. Additionally, the SAP process supports employee recovery and long-term success. Our SAP services are available across all 50 states.

Return To Duty Process
The Return-to-Duty (RTD) process is a structured protocol by SAPs to ensure DOT safety-sensitive employees meet compliance and readiness standards before returning to work after a drug or alcohol violation. This structured process ensures compliance and confirms the employee's readiness to safely resume duties through a SAP follow-up evaluation after completing the required program.

Employers
At Optumus Wellness LLC, we strictly follow all DOT rules and regulations. As a reminder, DOT Rule 49 CFR Part 40 Section 40.289 states that employers are not required to provide a SAP evaluation or any recommended education or treatment for employees who have violated DOT drug and alcohol regulations. Payment responsibility for SAP evaluations and services lies between employers and employees, potentially influenced by labor agreements and healthcare benefits.
Before allowing an employee to return to a DOT safety-sensitive position after a violation, employers must ensure the employee has been evaluated by a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) and has successfully completed all SAP-recommended steps.
