DOT Oral Fluid Collector Training – Workplace Screening

As oral fluid drug testing gains momentum in the workplace, it’s more important than ever that collectors are properly trained to meet federal requirements. Workplace Screening Intelligence now offers DOT Oral Fluid Collector Training to help collectors and employers stay ahead of industry changes and maintain full DOT compliance.

What is DOT Oral Fluid Collector Training?

In 2023, the U.S. Department of Transportation approved lab-based oral fluid drug testing for DOT-covered employers. With that change comes the need for qualified collectors who understand the specific protocols and collection devices required under the new regulations.

Our DOT Oral Fluid Collector Training covers:

Step-by-step oral fluid collection procedures
Use of approved FDA-cleared oral fluid collection devices
Proper chain of custody protocols
Donor and collector rights and responsibilities
Troubleshooting and handling invalid or insufficient specimens
Device-specific training per manufacturer instructions

Whether you’re a new collector or already qualified for urine collections, this training ensures you’re prepared to perform DOT-compliant oral fluid collections professionally and legally.

Why Oral Fluid Drug Testing?

Oral fluid testing offers several unique advantages:

100% observed collections reduce cheating risk
Immediate detection of recent drug use
No gender-specific collection requirements
Shorter collection times, increasing workplace productivity
Eliminates shy bladder issues common in urine testing
Ideal for employers in states with marijuana testing restrictions

As more employers adopt oral fluid testing, proper training becomes essential to ensure collections are conducted legally and efficiently.
