§382.501 Removal from safety-sensitive function.

Question 1: What work may the driver perform for an employer, if a driver violates the prohibitions in subpart B?

Guidance: A driver who has violated the prohibitions of subpart B may perform any duties for an employer that are not considered ‘‘safety-sensitive functions.’’ This may include handling of materials exclusively in a warehouse, regardless of whether the materials are considered hazardous as long as safety-sensitive functions are not performed. Safety-sensitive functions may not be performed until the individual has been evaluated by an Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), complied with any recommended treatment, has been re-evaluated by an Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), has been allowed by the Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) to return to work and has passed a return to duty test.
