DOT Policy Creation in Fort Collins
Custom DOT Policies Built Around Your Regulated Workforce
A Department of Transportation (DOT) drug and alcohol policy must reflect the rules governing your covered workforce. We help businesses and governmental agencies that employ commercial drivers develop written programs addressing testing responsibilities, employee communication, internal procedures, and applicable requirements.
Generic workplace language isn’t enough for a federally regulated testing program. Our DOT Policy Creation Services begin with your organization’s workforce, goals, and applicable DOT operating administration. We then create the policy, gather supporting documents, and outline procedures for starting the program.

What Our DOT Policy Creation Services Include
We build each program around the employer rather than inserting a business name into a standard template. We can explain federal regulations, industry-specific requirements, employer liability, and the procedures involved in a DOT testing program.
Policy and program support may include:
- A custom DOT compliant policy book based on the employer’s covered workforce and program needs.
- Necessary supervisor training for personnel responsible for recognizing and responding to qualifying situations.
- DOT protocol training for employers responsible for administering the program.
- Ongoing policy management and continual training as program needs change.
- DOT audit preparation focused on the employer’s policy and supporting procedures.
We also provide related DOT testing services, including pre-employment drug and alcohol screening, on-site/mobile drug and alcohol testing, and in-office drug and alcohol testing services. Connecting written procedures with testing support gives employers a practical framework for administering their programs.
How We Develop Your DOT Policy
We start by assessing your organization’s needs and goals. This review may cover the applicable DOT operating administration, covered employees, testing events, internal responsibilities, and existing workplace policies.
Our policy creation process covers:
- Employer Assessment: We identify the workforce, program goals, and operational details that shape the written policy.
- Policy Development: We create the policy and gather the supporting documents.
- Procedure Planning: We outline procedures for starting and administering the DOT testing program.
- Training Support: We provide necessary supervisor training and DOT protocol training for employers.
- Ongoing Support: We assist with ongoing policy management, continual training, and DOT audit preparation.
Using service agents for collections, laboratory analysis, medical review, or related services doesn’t transfer the employer’s regulatory responsibility. We help employers understand program requirements and establish usable policies and procedures, but obligations can vary by operating administration and workforce.
Connecting Written Policies With DOT Testing
A written policy should align employee expectations with day-to-day program administration. Depending on the applicable regulations, a program can involve pre-employment testing, random testing, reasonable-suspicion testing, post-accident testing, return-to-duty testing, and follow-up testing.
DOT and non-DOT requirements should remain distinct in both policy language and program administration. The written program should explain covered positions, prohibited conduct, testing circumstances, supervisor responsibilities, and the role of the designated employer representative. This company official receives certain communications and results from service agents and can take required action on the employer’s behalf.
