SafetyQuestion 610 of 690
A general contractor employs drivers who operate commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) requiring a Class A CDL. Federal Department of Transportation (DOT) rules require those drivers to participate in:
a.Voluntary annual wellness checks
b.Drug testing only after an accident
c.Drug testing only if hired through a union hall
d.Pre-employment, random, post-accident, and reasonable-suspicion drug and alcohol testing
Explanation
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rules at 49 CFR Part 382 require drug and alcohol testing programs for CDL drivers covering pre-employment, random selection, post-accident, reasonable suspicion, return-to-duty, and follow-up. These federal rules apply even where California state law restricts non-DOT employer drug testing.
