Substance Abuse Program Support

 Contractors are faced with many challenges within their organizations and HSE programs. Managing your organizations Substance Abuse Program compliance should not be one of them. Today’s workforces have a high turnover rate, and it often makes managing programs difficult. 

Consortiums like DISA, NASAP, FMCSA and PHMSA have tried to make these systems universal and have done a really good job at that. The problem with these programs is they are complex and require frequent updates and management. Most individuals responsible for managing the organizations program does this reactively and not proactively, meaning that they only look when something is wrong because they have other daily priorities.  

This is often not a big deal for employees and goes unnoticed in most organizations, employees are not worried about missing a random test because they will only get yellow lighted and need to retest to become active. This also pulls them out of the random selection pool until it gets caught by someone taking some proactive measures.  

However, when an employee that is selected for a random miss the test, the company becomes non-compliant and receives a red flag for the month. Although the status is reset each random selection period if compliance is gained, it can impact current or future opportunities. Some clients will look at your SAP compliance and shut down a bid opportunity and others will shut down your active projects when this occurs, however the damage is already done at this point. Federal Department of Transportation will also evaluate this during DOT audits and could issue warnings, citations and or pull your DOT numbers.  

Semper Safe Services has the solution for your organization. We offer our SAP MMP that will monitor your consortiums and take the frustration out of managing your organizations SAP programs. 

We begin by completing a comprehensive evaluation of your clients and active employees to verify the consortiums that your employees will need to be a part of, ensuring they are assigned and active in each of your required consortiums. Once we have completed this evaluation, we will begin with setting up a schedule to purge your organizations inactive employees for the roster to ensure that only active employees are selected on the day of selections. Once the selection list is issued for the period your organizations account manager will begin daily contact with you via phone and email to ensure that there are no missed random selections for the period. Once 100% of the selected employees are tested for the period, we will issue you a compliance report and continue monitoring until the next selection period.   

Our process greatly reduces the chance that an inactive employee will be pulled for the random selection, helping your organization maintain that green status your organizations clients are looking for. If your organization has employees working remotely or out of town, we can help track down the nearest testing facility so that they meet the testing requirement period.
