How Testing Rules Differ for DOT and Non-DOT Employees in NC
In North Carolina, the rules for drug and alcohol testing depend on whether your employees fall under federal DOT regulations or not. AZC provides testing programs for both, keeping every part of your workforce safe and compliant.
DOT-Regulated Employees: Safety-sensitive positions like CDL drivers who operate commercial vehicles, transport passengers, or haul hazardous materials must follow federal testing guidelines. These employees are required to complete testing at multiple points, including:
- Pre-employment
- Random quarterly selections
- Post-accident
- Return-to-duty
- Follow-up testing
Our DOT consortium in North Carolina manages all of these requirements to keep your team compliant under 49 CFR Part 40.
Non-DOT Regulated Employees: Employees who don’t fall under federal oversight, such as
- Warehouse staff
- Office workers
- In-state drivers
can still be covered under company-wide testing programs. While these tests aren’t mandated by the DOT, they can reinforce your workplace safety policies, lower liability risks, and promote a drug-free environment.
