8.10 Laws and Regulations Concerning Drugs and Alcohol
Technical assistance manual on the employment provisions (Title I) of the Americans With Disabilities Act
VIII. DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE
An employer may comply with other Federal laws and regulations concerning the use of drugs and alcohol, including the Drug–Free Workplace Act of 1988; regulations applicable to particular types of employment, such as law enforcement positions; regulations of the Department of Transportation for airline employees, interstate motor carrier drivers and railroad engineers; and regulations for safety sensitive positions established by the Department of Defense and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Employers may continue to require that their applicants and employees comply with such Federal laws and regulations.
For example, a trucking company can take appropriate action if an applicant or employee tests positive on a drug test required by Department of Transportation regulations or refuses to take such a drug test.
