EL SEGUNDO, CA (PRWEB) MARCH 29, 2016
As drug testing facilities move forward with the new electronic drug testing format approved by the Department of Transportation, last April, Corra Group is preparing to provide its trucking and transportation clients with the new DOT approved electronic chain of custody forms. The DOT Amendment will expand its definition of chain of custody forms, or CCF’s, to include both paper and electronic forms. This groundbreaking amendment is posted and detailed in the April, 2015 edition of the Federal Register.
“This is great news for trucking companies,” said Corra Group Co-Founder, Gordon Basichis. “The electronic CFF’s will greatly facilitate a trucking and transportation company in its ability to order drug tests on its drivers to meet the DOT Compliance Mandates.”
Basichis pointed out the new DOT Chain of Custody Form will go a long way to eventually replacing the more conventional five-pare CCF that has for decades been used as the necessary documentation for all workplace drug testing, for the end-to-end process of drug test ordering, specimen collection, and the documentation of the final drug testing results. He noted the electronic CCF will convey the same information concerning the employer, donor, collector, Medical Review Officer, and the resulting specimen information.
“Corra Group has long been partnered with Quest Diagnostics for conducting DOT regulated drug testing,” said Basichis. “Quest Diagnostics expects that their online electronic interface process will gain approval from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Laboratory Certification Program early in 2016. As soon as approval is granted, Corra Group will be able to offer the new electronic drug testing program to all of its trucking clients.
