Substance Abuse Professional (SAP)The Department of Transportation (DOT) regulation --49 CFR Part 40-- defines the Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) as a person who evaluates employees who have violated DOT drug and alcohol regulations when the employees work in safety-sensitive occupations. The individual must follow the DOT process in order to return to safety-sensitive duties. A qualified SAP, must have certain credentials, possess specific knowledge, and achieve a passing score on an examination and be updated with continuing education. DOT rules and regulations cover the following agency employees: Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration(FMCSA), Federal Transit Administration(FTA), Federal Railroad Administration(FRA), Federal Aviation Administration(FAA), and United States Coast Guard(USCG).
