Every Week Away From Covered Work Can Mean Lost Income

A DOT drug or alcohol violation can remove you from PHMSA regulated safety sensitive duties. That can affect your ability to perform covered pipeline work and may keep you from earning your normal income while the return to duty process remains incomplete.

Here is what that delay can mean.

Your Pipeline Duties Are On Hold

You cannot perform covered safety sensitive functions until you complete the required SAP and return to duty steps. That may include pipeline operations, maintenance, emergency response, and other PHMSA regulated duties.

Your Return To Duty Timeline Matters

The longer you wait to begin the SAP process, the longer you may remain unable to perform covered work. Starting promptly gives you a defined path through evaluation, recommendations, follow up, and return to duty testing.

Changing Employers Does Not Erase The Violation

Moving to another pipeline operator or DOT regulated employer does not make an unresolved violation disappear. Required drug and alcohol testing records can continue to affect your eligibility for safety sensitive work.

Pressure Builds While You Are Out Of Work

Lost income, uncertainty, and pressure to return can make the process harder to manage. A DOT qualified SAP gives you clear requirements and a structured path toward becoming eligible to resume covered duties.

The Employees Who Get Back To Covered Work Are The Ones Who Complete The Required Process

The Five Steps Back To PHMSA Covered Work

Reset Road guides you through steps 1 through 3. Your employer handles the required return to duty and follow up testing once your SAP determines you are ready to proceed.

 

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

Complete the education, counseling, treatment, or other services recommended by your SAP. The requirements are based on your individual evaluation.

 

3
SAP follow-up evaluation

Meet with your SAP again after completing the recommendations. Your SAP determines whether you have successfully complied and establishes your follow up testing plan.

 

4
Return-to-duty test

Your PHMSA regulated employer arranges the required return to duty test. You must receive the required result before resuming covered safety sensitive pipeline duties.

 

5
Follow-up testing schedule

Your SAP prescribes at least six unannounced tests in your first 12 months back on the job, and can extend the schedule up to five years total. Your employer runs those tests and reports completion.
