Webinar: Increase in Random Drug Testing Rates
This webinar to be held 2 p.m. ET Tuesday, December 18, will cover the upcoming increase in random drug testing rates.
Effective January 1, 2019, FTA will increase the minimum rate of random drug testing from 25 percent to 50 percent of covered employees for employers subject to FTA’s drug and alcohol regulation. FTA recently announced this increase in a Federal Register notice and policy letter. The increased testing rate, which is mandated by FTA’s drug and alcohol regulation, is in response to an increase in the industry’s "positive rate" as reflected in random drug testing data from calendar year 2017.
