EPCC stands for “Exploration and Production Contractors Consortium” and is one of the various programs managed through the DCC. The EPCC operates under a policy that contains different guidelines and requirements than other DCC programs.
The DCC manages employee screening for contractor companies, keeping them compliant with individual owner policies. DISA administers DCC programs, which include drug and alcohol testing, background check and training services. The DCC provides expert specimen collection, laboratory, and MRO services, as well as random pool management, compliance and audit assistance and program reporting.
The primary objective of the DCC is to assist the contractor members and owners in maintaining a safe and productive workplace. This is achieved by keeping contractors compliant with individual owner requirements through standardized employee screening processes that are consistent, objective, manageable, and fair.
A participating contractor is a contractor company who works on participating owner job sites and who has enrolled in the DCC to comply with an owner’s employee screening policy requirements.
Your DOT employees may be covered under the same account number through a separate DOT policy that meets all federal regulations.
Yes. The DCC is a nationwide program, serving several hundred participating owner sites across the U.S.
The DCC in no way limits your own company policy and procedures. DISA can also administer your company policy separate from your DCC policy.
Only employees who can demonstrate an “Active” or “Employed” status in the DCC can work on participating owner job sites. An Active or Employed status is achieved by complying with the EPCC and DOT policies, as well as individual owner employee screening requirements (if any). The EPCC only reports an employee’s status to participating owners.
Contractor employees must complete the EPCC membership application process and must be screened in accordance with the EPCC policy, as well as individual owner employee screening requirements (if any). Screening includes drug and alcohol testing and/or backgrounds screening as applicable.
Owners have real-time access to compliance status through our online data management system, DISAWorks.
The contact person (DER/Communicator) should be an employee who has the authority to receive all confidential information. We recommend that a minimum of two employees be assigned as communicators (primary and backup).
Some of the responsibilities of the DER/Communicator(s) include verifying employee applicants, enrolling employees in the program, receiving and disbursing random selection lists, receiving test results, and communicating with the Medical Review Officer (MRO). These individuals are responsible for communicating with DISA regarding all aspects of their company’s DCC program.
Only the DER/Communicator(s) for the contractor company who paid for the test may receive actual employee screening/test results. These results can also be given to the employee for whom the screen/test is conducted.
