Drug and Alcohol Compliance
Ensuring Safety and Compliance on the Road
Maintaining a drug and alcohol-free workforce is critical for the safety of our roads and the integrity of your trucking business. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) mandates all covered employers and owner-operators to register with the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse (DACH). This requirement is designed to enhance safety in commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operations by keeping impaired drivers off the road.
What is the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse?
The Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse is a secure online database that provides real-time information about drug and alcohol program violations by commercial driver’s license (CDL) holders. It is a crucial tool in ensuring that drivers who violate substance use regulations are identified and handled appropriately to prevent them from operating CMVs until they comply with return-to-duty processes.
Why Compliance Matters
Compliance with drug and alcohol regulations is not just a legal requirement; it’s essential for several reasons:
- Safety: Protects the public and your employees by ensuring only drug and alcohol-free drivers are behind the wheel.
- Legal Obligations: Non-compliance can result in hefty fines and penalties, as well as potential lawsuits and damage to your company’s reputation.
- Business Integrity: Upholds the trust and confidence of your clients and stakeholders by demonstrating your commitment to safety and regulatory adherence.
