CSC Drug & Alcohol Testing Protocols 2

Question 1

Under DOT regulations, what is the minimum volume of urine required for a primary specimen in a federal workplace drug test?

Accepted Answer

30 mL

Answer

DOT requires a minimum of 30 mL of urine for the primary specimen in a split-specimen collection.

Question 2

A donor's urine temperature reads 92°F immediately after collection. What should the collector do?

Accepted Answer

Accept the specimen since it is within the acceptable range

Answer

The acceptable temperature range is 90–100°F (32–38°C), so 92°F falls within the valid range and the specimen should be accepted.

Question 3

Which federal agency's 49 CFR Part 40 establishes the procedures for drug and alcohol testing in transportation industries?

Accepted Answer

DOT

Answer

The Department of Transportation (DOT) issued 49 CFR Part 40, which governs workplace drug and alcohol testing procedures.

Question 4

During a direct observation collection, who is authorized to observe the donor providing a urine specimen?

Accepted Answer

An observer of the same gender as the donor

Answer

Direct observation must be conducted by a collector or observer of the same gender as the donor to preserve dignity and privacy.

Question 5

What action must a collector take if a donor refuses to sign the custody and control form (CCF)?

Accepted Answer

Note the refusal on the CCF and treat it as a refusal to test

Answer

A donor's refusal to sign the CCF is documented by the collector and treated as a refusal to test, which has the same consequences as a positive result under DOT rules.
