The Safety Pro Group Since the early 1990’s ,the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCA) has defined drug and alcohol testing rules and regulations for employees who drive commercial trucks and vehicles that require a commercial driver’s license (CDL). The regulations specify who is subject to testing, when they are tested, and in what situations testing may be necessary. The FMCSA maintains a Safety Measurement System (SMS) which tracks the number, severity, and dates of safety violations. In order for your company to to maintain FMCSA compliance, our staff can assist with the development of policies and training programs that will meet regulation requirements.
