Message:: [QUOTE="Moose1958, post: 12233341, member: 54776"]I agree. Here is the thing a lot of people fail to understand. EVEN if hair testing finally gets approval the official testing is ONLY going to be testing for those prohibited substances found in <a href="https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/subtitle-A/part-40/subpart-F/section-40.85" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/subtitle-A/part-40/subpart-F/section-40.85" rel="nofollow">40.85</a> and in <a href="https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/subtitle-A/part-40/subpart-F/section-40.87" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/subtitle-A/part-40/subpart-F/section-40.87" rel="nofollow">40.87</a>. I was speaking to a safety person friend of mine the other day about the language found in 40.85. § 40.85 What drugs do laboratories test for? As a laboratory, you must test for the following five drugs or classes of drugs in a DOT drug test. You must not test “DOT specimens” for any other drugs. [USER=56880]@wis bang[/USER] this part backs up what you just said about a separate test. This is DOT guidance to the Labs. They are not allowed to test anything that's part of an official DOT test for ANYBODY subject to 49 CFR. This is why I wonder what will happen to hair testing if it finally gets approval.[/QUOTE]
