Under 49 CFR 40.287, if an employee (including an applicant or new employee) violates a DOT drug and alcohol regulation, you as the employer must provide them with a list of Substance Abuse Professionals (SAPs).

Here is what you need to do:

* Provide specific details: The list must include the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of SAPs who are readily available to the employee and acceptable to you.

* Keep it free of charge: You cannot charge the employee any fee for compiling or providing this list.

* Use service agents if needed: You can provide this list directly, or have a C/TPA (Consortium/Third-Party Administrator) or another service agent provide it on your behalf.
