Drug Testing for Pipeline Workers
Effective August 25th, U.S. DOT requires observation of urine deposits for the re-testing of safety-sensitive employees in the pipeline industry, according to this post in World of Work. The amended regs are those at 49 CFR Part 40, especially §§ 40.61-.73. The WoW post links to the new regs.
