The Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) is a person who evaluates employees who have violated a DOT drug and alcohol regulation and makes recommendations concerning education, treatment, follow-up testing and aftercare.
SAP’s represent the path to healing and recovering a valuable career or profession. SAP are valuable, because at all costs we want the employee behind the steering wheel of a school bus, in the cockpit of a plane, at the helm of an oil tanker, at the throttle of a train, in the engineer compartment of a subway car, or at the emergency control valves of a natural gas pipeline—we want them clear and sharp and alert and aware and sober. That responsibility to the public is enormous!
The SAP Community Advocate
SAP’s do not advocate for the employer nor the employee. The function of the SAP is to protect the public interest in safety by professionally evaluating the employee and recommending appropriate education and/or treatment, follow-up tests, and aftercare.
