DOT & Non-DOT Drug Testing Explained for Michigan Employers
Whether your team includes CDL drivers or warehouse staff, understanding the difference between DOT and non-DOT testing is key to keeping your business compliant and your workplace safe. AZC offers both testing options for Michigan employers:
- DOT-Regulated Employees: Safety-sensitive workers covered by federal DOT agencies like the FMCSA, FRA, FTA, PHMSA, and FAA. This most commonly covers CDL drivers and vehicle operators who cross state lines or transport passengers or hazardous materials. They must follow strict drug and alcohol testing protocols, including pre-employment, random, post-accident, return-to-duty, and follow-up testing.
- Non-DOT Regulated Employees: Employees who aren’t covered by federal DOT rules (warehouse workers, office staff, or local delivery drivers) don’t need to follow federal testing requirements, but many employers still choose to test them. Drug testing can reinforce workplace safety policies, lower liability, and support a drug-free environment. AZC offers customizable non-DOT testing programs to align with your company’s policies and goals.

A Legal Overview of DOT Drug & Alcohol Testing in Michigan
Any business that operates commercial motor vehicles across state lines, or employs safety-sensitive drivers, must follow federal regulations under 49 CFR Parts 40 and 382. These laws apply to all DOT-regulated positions and outline how testing must be conducted, documented, and reported.
Here’s what the law requires:
- Testing must be conducted at federally approved laboratories.
- Results must be reviewed by a licensed Medical Review Officer (MRO).
- Documentation and testing records must be maintained for several years in case of federal audits.
AZC handles each of these steps for you, so you never have to worry about missing a regulation or making a costly mistake.
