Each employer shall conduct the 

types of testing described in this sec-
tion in accordance with the procedures 
set forth in this subpart and the DOT

part 40). 

(a) 

Pre-employment drug testing. 

(1) No 

employer may hire any individual for a

ducts a pre-employment test and re-
ceives a verified negative drug test re-
sult for that individual.

vidual to transfer from a nonsafety- 
sensitive to a safety-sensitive function

pre-employment test and receives a 
verified negative drug test result for 
the individual. 

(3) Employers must conduct another 

pre-employment test and receive a 
verified negative drug test result be-
fore hiring or transferring an indi-
vidual into a safety-sensitive function 
if more than 180 days elapse between 
conducting the pre-employment test 
required by paragraphs (a)(1) or (2) of 
this section and hiring or transferring 
the individual into a safety-sensitive 
function, resulting in that individual 
being brought under an FAA drug test-
ing program. 

(4) If the following criteria are met, 

an employer is permitted to conduct a 
pre-employment test, and if such a test 
is conducted, the employer must re-
ceive a negative test result before put-
ting the individual into a safety-sen-
sitive function: 

(i) The individual previously per-

formed a safety-sensitive function for 
the employer and the employer is not 
required to pre-employment test the 
individual under paragraphs (a)(1) or (2)
