City of South Bend <br />EAP Contract Page 8 <br />Prepared on September 12, 2018 <br />I. Consultation of Department of Transportation (DOT) Substance Abuse Regulation. <br />New Avenues can help the employer with several components of complying with <br />the U.S. Department of Transportation requirements. The New Avenues staff can <br />arrange training online or at the site with professionals who are experienced in <br />training supervisors for DOT purposes including training on reasonable suspicion. <br />We also can provide the human resource officer or other Company representative <br />with a list of Substance Abuse Professionals (known as "SAP's") who have a <br />recognized certification of qualification to conduct assessments under DOT <br />regulations. This list may be given to human resource representatives or other <br />Company representatives to assist employees who have tested positive for DOT <br />drug/alcohol testing and who then are responsible to pursue assessment and/or <br />treatment under the DOT regulations prior to returning to work. Costs of treatment, <br />educational programs, Intensive Outpatient Treatment Programs, and self-help <br />community groups are typically at the employee's expense. <br />DOT regulations stipulate that the assessment and monitoring of compliance, as <br />well as advisement of readiness to return to work must come directly from the SAP <br />to the employer. DOT consultation to the employer (as described above) is at no <br />charge. DOT training for supervisors will be billed at the workshop level dependent <br />on the speaker's fees. <br />V.
