What is a SAP?
A SAP is a Substance Abuse Professional who plays
a critical role in the process of evaluating employees who have failed or
refused to take a required drug and/or alcohol test.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) regulation -- 49 CFR
Part 40 -- defines the Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) as a person who
evaluates employees who have violated a DOT drug and alcohol regulation. The
SAP's fundamental responsibility is to provide a comprehensive face-to-face
assessment and clinical evaluation to determine what level of assistance the
employee needs in resolving problems associated with alcohol use or prohibited
drug use. The SAP then recommends a course of education and/or treatment with
which the employee must demonstrate successful compliance prior to returning to
DOT safety-sensitive duties. The SAP also serves as a referral source to assist the employee's entry
into an acceptable program.
Prior to the employee's return to safety-sensitive duties,
DOT regulations require the SAP to perform
a follow-up evaluation with the employee. This evaluation is to
determine whether the employee has demonstrated successful compliance with the
SAP's original recommendations. This mandatory evaluation must be completed before
the employer can return the employee to
safety-sensitive functions.
