We would request
that companies are conducting DOT testing ask those technicians
that are doing their drug collections and alcohol testing for a
copy of their certificate to ensure that they are authorized to
do that work.
Any company that cannot get their applicable collection and
testing provider to make available copies of these certificates
should contact our office immediately.
Additionally, we would also like to inform our clients that our
Medical Review Officer, Dr. J.V. Drost, has retired from his duty
as MRO. Dr. Drost has provided MRO services to us for 12 years
and we have greatly appreciated his efforts.
Effective 1 February, 2003, we have arranged to have Dr. Ralph
Sutherlin provide MRO services. Dr. Sutherlin is a physician
located in Boise, Idaho and is fully certified with a national
MRO association to provide MRO services. We look forward to
working with him in providing drug testing services to our
clients that do DOT testing.
Any clients that have questions regarding these issues are
invited to call us.
