How do I get signed up for NASAP?
If you need to enroll in NASAP to gain site access, you're in the right place!
Click below to fill out the NASAP onboarding form. Include your company information, identify NASAP as the required program, and provide the name of the owner site directing your company to enroll in the comments.
A DISA representative will review the request, confirm the applicable requirements, and provide the next steps for company and employee enrollment. This helps ensure your workforce enters the correct program from the start.
What does NASAP stand for?
NASAP stands for the North American Substance Abuse Program. It is an industry drug and alcohol testing program for contractor employees working at participating owner sites across North America.
The program establishes consistent testing, reporting, rehabilitation, and compliance requirements. This structure helps owners maintain safer workplaces while giving contractors a standardized process for managing employee eligibility across participating sites.
What is the purpose of the NASAP?
To provide a safe and substance-free contractor workforce while protecting employee rights and privacy. NASAP includes a rehabilitation process and keeps individuals who test positive from moving between contractor companies without completing an approved rehabilitation program.
NASAP helps to reduce unnecessary testing redundancy that now exists for many contractors, thereby reducing the overall administrative costs for both owners and contractors. Additionally, contractors have a choice of who administers NASAP. Third-Party Administrators (TPAs) will have to earn the business and perform to keep it.
Contractors choose DISA because of our larger network of owner sites. By using DISA to manage a NASAP program, contractors gain access to hundreds of additional sites without needing an additional program. As the number of participating sites a contractor visits increases, pre-employment and pre-access testing is greatly reduced.
Is DISA a NASAP provider?
Yes. DISA is a qualified NASAP Consortium Third-Party Administrator, also known as a C/TPA. DISA manages contractor enrollment, testing coordination, compliance records, employee status, and other administrative requirements associated with the NASAP program.
Choosing DISA also gives contractors access to DISA’s broader urine-testing consortium network. When applicable requirements are met, employees enrolled through DISA receive reciprocal access to both NASAP sites and participating DISA owner sites through one provider.
Is NASAP the same as the DISA Contractor Consortium?
No. NASAP is an industry program supported by participating owners and administered through qualified C/TPAs. The DISA Contractor Consortium is DISA’s broader contractor compliance network, which serves additional owners across multiple industries and locations.
When DISA manages your NASAP enrollment, your company receives the required NASAP administration plus access to participating DISA urine-testing owner sites. This broader reciprocity helps reduce separate programs, duplicate testing, added paperwork, and time away from the job.
Does NASAP provide access to every owner site?
No. NASAP supports access ONLY to owner sites participating in the NASAP program. Other owners use separate drug and alcohol testing requirements, including the DISA Contractor Consortium or other owner-specific programs.
Choosing DISA as your NASAP administrator expands your potential site access. Your workforce receives support for NASAP requirements and participating DISA urine-testing consortium requirements through one provider, subject to each owner’s policies and eligibility standards.
Does choosing DISA change NASAP requirements?
No. DISA administers the established NASAP program requirements. Choosing DISA does not remove, replace, or reduce any owner-site requirements.
The difference is the additional value your company receives. DISA combines NASAP administration with access to its larger contractor consortium network, helping your workforce meet additional owner requirements without managing separate providers.
What are a contractor's responsibilities under NASAP?
1. Establishing a business relationship with a NASAP TPA like DISA.
2. Having employees sign a one-time Global Release form and sending these to the selected TPA.
3. Ensuring that employees are active in the NASAP database by doing a drug screen look-upbefore sending workers for substance abuse testing and/or the worksite. (Note: manufacturers may use gate-check procedures to ensure NASAP eligibility. Non-eligible employees will be denied access.)
Ongoing compliance includes conducting random and other required tests per the TPA, ensuring that Contractor employee rosters are updated to the TPA at least monthly upon TPA request, ensuring that employees new to the NASAP have signed global consent forms sent to the TPA, etc.
