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.
