NQCR

National Qualified Collector Registry

CollectorRegistry.com is an online service that audits, archives and makes available drug test collector qualifications. 
COMPLIANCE: Federal rules state that "an employer's good faith use of a collector that is not qualified is no excuse and cannot serve as a defense to an enforcement action by DOT, or in an action by a former applicant or employee." The rules require collectors to produce written documentation of qualifications upon request. Employers must have documentation confirming several elements of collection personnel qualifications. Initially these include: 
   
49 CFR 40.33(b) Qualification Training
49 CFR 40.33(c) Initial Proficiency Demonstrations
49 CFR40.33(c)(2) Qualified Monitor
49 CFR 40.33(a) Keeping Current on the Rules

Subsequently, Error Correction Training and Refresher Training must also be documented. Therefore, in order to fully document collector qualification and ensure compliance for all involved, it is imperative that the rules must be followed. There have been many reported cases throughout the country of employees who have tested positive for illicit drug use, but get their job back, because the collector was not qualified, or did not have proof that they were. This can be very costly to the employer, their TPA and to the collector.
