Course overview
In this section, we'll discuss the procedures for your controlled substances testing program, as mandated by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). Most of the time, your company will have a separate testing facility conduct your testing. Because it's up to your company to ensure that testing procedures are followed, you should have an idea of how the tests should be performed.
