U.S.: Drug Testing Documents

The U.S. DOT is requesting public comment on how its regulations for conducting workplace drug and alcohol testing of those working in the transportation industry could be amended to allow the use of electronic signatures on documents, the use of electronic versions of forms, and to electronically store forms and data. The regulatory changes would apply to DOT-regulated employers, including those in aviation and their contractors, who administer drug and alcohol testing programs. Currently, employers and their service agents must use, sign and store paper documents exclusively, unless the employer is utilizing a laboratory’s electronic Federal Drug Testing Custody and Control Form (electronic CCF) system. Comments are due by Oct. 4, 2022.
