DOT Urine Collector Pre-mock Quiz

Only collectors that have met the training requirements of this sub-part are the only authorized persons to collect urine specimens for DOT drug testing. Immediate supervisors MAY NOT act as a collector UNLESS no other collector is available and you are permitted to do so under DOT agency drug and alcohol regulations. Under no circumstance, shall a technician or accessioner be a collector because they can link the employee with the urine specimen (lab techs and accessioners don't know the donors, they receive lab copies with only a SSN# on it, no other identifying information.) Physicians may perform drug testing so long as the meet requirements set-forth by the sub-part.

A shy bladder is not an immediate refusal. There are a special set of rules collectors can follow to complete the collection. REMEMBER: If the donor refuses to comply with your instructions at any time, that is considered a refusal and you'll need to make remarks as such.

NOTE: Specimen bag CANNOT be ziplocked. It must be sealed with tamper evident adhesive. The bag must also contain an absorbent pad in case the specimen bottles break in transit. BOTTLE A must have 30 mL and BOTTLE B must have 15 mL. The cup registers specimen temperature in between 90-100°F. Anything above or below this range is considered a temperature out of range.

That means BOTTLE A & BOTTLE B. Sealed.

Use of lock box is recommended.

An affidavit must be signed and returned by the collector who was in error or by an immediate supervisor. An affidavit must be returned within 72 hours of notification.

ALWAYS. Unless the collection is "Monitored" by a licensed medical professional. "NP, MD, PA"

Before discarding, leftover can be used for clinical testing i.e. DOT Physical UA.

The statement is true because as a donor, you should only be asked to remove your outer clothing during a donation process. This is to ensure privacy and modesty for the donor. Removing any other clothing would be unnecessary and inappropriate.

In fact, the donor should not even begin to drink water or have any sort of in-take prior to his/her first attempt at providing a specimen.

An observed collection takes place immediately after the temperature goes out of range. This suggests that the collection process is closely monitored and any deviation from the acceptable temperature range prompts an immediate action to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the collection.

A collector must complete 5 error-free mocks. 2 uneventful, 1 shy bladder, 1 temp out of range, 1 refusal to sign.

The correct answer is "All of the above." This is because the question asks for the training requirements that a collector must meet, and all of the statements listed in the options are valid training requirements for a collector. These requirements include knowledge of DOT urine specimen collection procedures and regulations, qualification training for collection procedures and troubleshooting, maintaining the integrity and privacy of the collection process, demonstrating proficiency in error-free mock collections, completing refresher training every five years, undergoing error correction training, and maintaining documentation of meeting all requirements.

CFR 49 Part 40 can be found online at https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=44edbc0e557a4cc5ff03365810ee5b1c&mc=true&node=pt49.1.40&rgn=div5

A temperature out of range is not an immediate refusal. There are a special set of rules collectors can follow to complete the collection. REMEMBER: If the donor refuses to comply with your instructions at any time, that is considered a refusal and you'll need to make remarks as such.

As long as it's your name-tag.

This is different than refresher training after a fatal flaw.

NEVER delay the treatment of an injured employee.

The options that are considered "outer clothing" are coveralls, jacket, coat, and hat. Outer clothing refers to the garments that are worn over the undergarments and are typically meant to provide protection or insulation from the environment. Coveralls, jackets, coats, and hats are all examples of outerwear that are worn on top of other clothing items.

All of the above are acceptable collection sites as long as they meet requirements as stated in Subpart D "Collection Sites, Forms, Equipment, and Supplies Used in DOT Urine Collections". I encourage you to read each section about each type of collection site and their individual requirements.

A federal chain is always a federal chain and cannot be DEMOTED so-to-speak.

These terms are used interchangeably.

A Forensic CCF may be used, but should not be used as first resort. This is a correctable flaw and can be corrected by affidavit. If a Non-DOT CCF is the ONLY CCF available to perform the collection on.

According to the Department of Transportation (DOT) guidelines, collectors must receive refresher training within 30 business days if they are notified of a fatal flaw in their collection procedures. This requirement ensures that collectors maintain the necessary skills and knowledge to perform collections correctly and in compliance with regulations.

As the collector signing the CCF, you're taking complete responsibility for following all rules and regulations for completing the entire drug testing collection. This includes this step. You do not need to make any remarks that you allowed him/her to keep their belongings before entering the restroom. You've already verified nothing they had could've been used as an adulterant in the testing process.

Henry.

In the drug testing world, a fatal flaw refers to a non-correctable procedural error that leads to a canceled test or unacceptable results. The collector has 5 business days to undergo the refresher training and record/documentation of that training may be requested.

Make sure you make DARKER copies of the pages retained by Dr. Gil's Immediate Care. Legibility of these documents are very important. Lab copies accompany the specimen to the lab. Remember, they don't have any other identifying information other than the donor's social and the modality of testing (DOT Agency). Copy 2 - MRO gets transmitted to the MRO immediately (24 hours). They need this copy to release final results. The collector copy can be scanned into our computer. Employer copies can be retained but should be emailed/faxed to the DER. Donor copies should always leave with the donor. Collection instructions can be found on the reverse side of the form.

Employers should be made aware that injury and reasonable suspicion doesn't wait for business hours. After hours injury and reasonable suspicion should have a DER designated for those times after hours. They'll need to be available in case. If no DER is available after hours, make note in the remarks box on the CCF/COC.
