MRO Source Selection & Evaluation 3

Question 1

Under 49 CFR Part 40, which criterion disqualifies a collection site from being used for DOT urine specimen collection?

Accepted Answer

The site lacks a bluing agent for toilet water

Answer

Collection sites must have the toilet water blued (colored) to deter dilution or substitution; absence of this requirement makes the site non-compliant.

Question 2

Which professional is authorized to serve as a Designated Employer Representative (DER) in the MRO source evaluation process?

Accepted Answer

Any employee designated by the employer to receive drug test results

Answer

A DER is any employer-designated employee authorized to receive test results and take required actions; no special licensure is required.

Question 3

An MRO is reviewing a specimen that was shipped to the laboratory via a non-approved courier. Under 49 CFR Part 40, what is the most appropriate action?

Accepted Answer

Accept the result if the seal is intact

Answer

Shipping method is not a fatal flaw under Part 40; if the specimen seal is intact and the CCF is properly completed, the MRO may proceed.

Question 4

Which of the following collection site conditions is a correctable flaw rather than a fatal flaw under 49 CFR Part 40?

Accepted Answer

The collector failed to sign the CCF

Answer

A missing collector signature is a correctable flaw that can be remedied with a memorandum of correction from the collector; the other options are fatal flaws requiring cancellation.

Question 5

An employer selects a collection site based solely on geographic convenience. What additional factor should the MRO advise the employer to verify?

Accepted Answer

The collector's DOT training and qualification records

Answer

Collectors must have completed qualification training per 49 CFR Part 40; employers should verify collector qualifications, not just location.
