Celebrating 40 Years of Compliance Leadership
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the DOT agency with regulatory oversight of America’s aviation industry. They are tasked with setting and enforcing regulations that mitigate risks and establish high safety standards. You must also consider the preemptive regulations as defined by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), specifically those implemented by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
The FAA drug testing rates are 25%, while the alcohol rates are 10%. FAA regulations apply to any employees who perform flight crewmember duties, flight attendant duties, flight instruction duties, aircraft dispatch duties, aircraft maintenance or preventive maintenance duties, ground security coordinator duties, aviation screening duties, air traffic control duties, and/or operations control specialist duties.
The specific FAA requirements may vary according to the safety-sensitive nature of an employee's position. In accordance with the FAA, employers are required to perform the following drug and alcohol testing and background checks:
