SAP Evaluations
DOT-Compliant Return-to-Duty Assessments
If you've been removed from a safety-sensitive position due to a DOT drug or alcohol violation, a SAP evaluation is the first step in getting back to work.
What Is a SAP Evaluation?
A SAP Evaluation is a mandated assessment conducted after a DOT drug or alcohol violation. During the evaluation, the SAP reviews the circumstances of the violation, substance use history, and other relevant information to determine what education or treatment is required before a return to duty is permitted.
SAP evaluations are not optional. Federal regulations require completion of the SAP process before an individual can return to any DOT-regulated safety-sensitive position.
