Medical Review Officer Online Course with Live Discussion (Includes Digital Syllabus)-DOT Urine Specimen Collection Procedures

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video module, the Department of Transportation (DOT) urine specimen collection requirements for drug testing are discussed. There are three types of urine specimen collections specified in 49 CFR Part 40. The first is a normal or privacy collection, where the donor uses a toilet enclosure with a full privacy door. The collector remains outside the room and the donor brings the specimen out for processing. The second type is a monitored collection in a multi-stall restroom with a partial privacy door. The collector prepares the stall for use and remains outside, but inside the restroom. In this type, a monitor of the opposite gender is allowed if they are a medical professional. The third type is a direct observation collection, where the observer is in the toilet enclosure or stall with the donor and observes the urination. The observer must be the same gender as the donor. The collector ensures the collection site is prepared by securing water sources, removing potential adulterants, and restricting access and exit. The video also covers privacy and security issues, shy bladder collection procedures, and circumstances that constitute refusal to test. The video emphasizes the importance of following the proper collection procedures outlined in DOT regulations. No credits were mentioned in the video.
