Every Week Out of Duty Can Mean Lost Income

A DOT violation can prevent you from performing FRA regulated safety sensitive functions. For railroad employees whose livelihood depends on covered service, delaying the return to duty process can mean additional time away from the work they normally perform.

 

The sooner you begin the required process, the sooner you can begin completing the steps toward return to duty eligibility.

 

Your Railroad Duties Are On Hold

A DOT drug or alcohol violation can remove you from FRA regulated safety sensitive work. Until the required SAP and return to duty steps are completed, you cannot resume covered duties.

Your Record Can Follow You To Your Next Employer

Changing railroad employers does not make an unresolved violation disappear. Required drug and alcohol testing records can affect your eligibility to perform safety sensitive work with another DOT regulated employer.

Waiting Can Cost You More Time Away From Work

The longer you wait to begin the SAP process, the longer your return to covered railroad duties may be delayed. Starting promptly gives you a clear path forward.

You Are Under Pressure To Get Back To Work

Lost income, uncertainty, and pressure from family or your employer can make the process feel overwhelming. A qualified SAP gives you clear requirements and a defined path toward return to duty.

Getting Back To Railroad Work Starts With Completing The Process

The five steps from prohibited to driving

Reset Road handles steps 1 through 3. Steps 4 and 5 run through your employer, and we tell you exactly what to ask for so nothing stalls.

1
Initial evaluation

You meet your SAP over video. It runs about 60. Your SAP asks about your history, your test, and your circumstances, then determines what education or treatment you need.

2
Treatment or education

Your SAP writes a plan and gives you a list of qualified providers to choose from. Some drivers get an education course they can finish in less than a week. Others get a treatment program that runs longer.

3
SAP follow-up evaluation

When you finish your plan, you meet your SAP again. The SAP verifies you completed what was assigned, determines whether you are compliant, and if you are, sets your follow-up testing schedule.

4
Return-to-duty test

Your railroad employer arranges the required return to duty test. You must receive the required negative result before returning to FRA regulated safety sensitive duties. Return to duty drug testing is directly observed.

5
Follow-up testing schedule

After returning to duty, you must complete unannounced follow up testing. FRA requirements may include at least six drug tests and six alcohol tests during the first 12 months, with testing continuing for up to 60 months.
