Title: Safety First: Compliance with Regulations for Safety-Sensitive Employees! šš
Content:
As you grow and welcome new talent to your team, you must remember the critical steps involved in hiring safety-sensitive employees. If you have hired or transferred any new safety-sensitive employees within the past 12/18/24 months, let's review the essential requirements as outlined by FAA regulations. š
š„ Identifying Safety-Sensitive Positions: First and foremost, you must identify which positions within our company are safety-sensitive. These are roles that require the utmost attention to safety and compliance. š¼
š« Pre-Employment Drug Test: For any employee entering a safety-sensitive position, a pre-employment drug test is mandatory before the applicant is hired. This test ensures that the candidate is fit for the role and meets FAA regulations. Safety is our priority! š”ļø
š Adding to the Drug Testing Pool: After a negative pre-employment drug test result, the employee must be added to the drug testing pool immediately. This inclusion allows you to monitor and maintain compliance throughout their tenure. š
šØ Non-Compliance Consequences: As the DER, you must be aware that failure to comply with FAA regulations can lead to legal enforcement action and a civil penalty of $11,000.00 per violation. Compliance is key to protecting your company and safety-sensitive employees. āļø
