PHMSA - Drug & Alcohol Testing - DOT Consortium

As part of its mission to protect people and the environment, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) advances the safe transportation of energy and other hazardous materials essential to our daily lives. This industry includes gas pipelines, carbon dioxide pipelines, hazardous liquid pipelines, and liquified natural gas facilities. Since these employees work in potentially dangerous environments, drug abuse on the job is even more severe. Allow I Drug Screen, a partner of Nationwide Testing Association, to handle those crucial needs for you by enrolling in a pipeline testing consortium that thoroughly understands the industry.

DOT Drug and Alcohol Testing Compliance with PHMSA

Accordingly, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration strictly enforce the requirements of the DOT drug and alcohol testing program. Many large oil and gas companies employ auditing companies to ensure that their subcontractors comply with PHMSA's drug and alcohol testing requirements. This PHMSA may include the following:

  • Audit and Inspection Protocol for Specimen Collection Sites

  • Audit and Inspection Protocol for Alcohol Testing Sites

  • Audit and Inspection Protocol for Comprehensive Audit and Inspection of Covered Employers Anti-Drug Program

  • Audit and Inspection Protocol for Comprehensive Audit and Inspection of Covered Employers Alcohol Misuse Program


According to PHMSA regulations, alcohol tests should be conducted after an accident, upon reasonable suspicion, and upon returning to duty. Employees who fail or refuse to submit to DOT alcohol testing under Part 199 are subject to random follow-ups by SAP.

PHMSA Drug Testing: What is it?

According to 49 CFR Parts 192, 193, or 195, pipeline operators, contractors, and/or agency personnel performing operations, maintenance, or emergency operation or response functions covered by DOT pipeline safety regulations must have anti-drug and alcohol misuse prevention plans and programs. Employers regulated by PHMSA must follow the Drug and Alcohol Testing Rules of the Department of Transportation (DOT) 49 CFR Part 40 and must also follow the specific PHMSA agency rule 49 CFR Part 199. Our company offers services that ensure compliance with CFR Part 40 and Part 199. DOT's pipeline testing requirements are strictly adhered to by us as a pipeline testing consortium.
