DOT Drug & Alcohol-Free Workplace Policy Template | Editable Word Doc

Everything you need to build a compliant, professional DOT drug and alcohol policy — without starting from a blank page or guessing what goes where. This bundle includes the fully editable policy template plus a step-by-step guide showing you exactly how to complete it.

What's included:

• Policy Template — 11 complete sections built around 49 CFR Part 40: purpose, covered employees, prohibited conduct, all 6 testing types (pre-employment, random, reasonable suspicion, post-accident, return-to-duty, follow-up), testing procedures, consequences, DER responsibilities, confidentiality, and policy review, plus an employee acknowledgment/signature page
• Completion Guide — pre-work checklist, a section-by-section table telling you exactly what to enter and where to find it, common mistakes to avoid, and a final rollout checklist
• Covers all 6 DOT agencies (FMCSA, FAA, FRA, FTA, PHMSA, USCG) — keep only what applies to your operation
• Two editable .docx files — opens in Word, Google Docs, or Pages
• Editable fields clearly marked throughout so nothing gets missed

Who it's for: Trucking companies, transit and rail operators, aviation employers, DOT-covered small businesses, and consultants building compliance packages for clients.

This is a drafting template, not legal advice. Buyers should have the final policy reviewed by a qualified employment attorney before adoption.
