A Non-DOT drug test is a drug test given to a worker in an industry that's not regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The employer decides how to manage and run their drug testing program based on their needs. Established companies have this defined in their drug testing policy.
How much urine is needed for a non-DOT drug test?
Urine drug testing requires a minimum of 30 mL of urine (45 mL for a U.S. Department of Transportation collection) collected in the privacy of a restroom.
What's the difference between DOT and non-DOT drug test?
DOT testing can reveal the use of alcohol, opiates, marijuana, cocaine, PCP, amphetamines, and methamphetamines. Non-DOT testing looks for the presence of barbiturates, methadone, quaaludes, benzodiazepines, and propoxyphene.
What is cut off level for drug test?
In the case of urine analysis, drug testing cutoff levels are measured in nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml). For example, an initial screening for marijuana must show at least 50 ng/ml, and then confirmatory tests must prove at least 15 ng/ml. Basic testing typically screens for the following, commonly-abused drugs.
How long does it take to get below 50 ng/mL urine test?
When tested at the 50 ng/ml cutoff threshold, infrequent users typically test negative for the presence of marijuana metabolites within 3-4 days, while heavy users typically test negative by ten days after ceasing use, the study found.
What does a cut off level mean?
Cut off levels are used to determine whether to immediately report out a negative drug test result after a screening test or to send the specimen on to further confirmation testing. In drug testing a cut off level is established to determine when a test will be positive for illegal drugs.
What is a regulated drug test?
A regulated drug test typically involves a urine or alcohol collection performed for specific agencies categorized as “safety-sensitive” workplaces because of the potential influence of their job on public safety.Jul 9, 2019
