FRA Alcohol Limits For Random Drug Tests


Beginning June 1, 2022 the FRA has conducted random drug tests for all railroad employees. Along with a dug test they will also test your Blood Alcohol Concentration, (BAC) level to make sure you are not under the influence of alcohol. Your BAC level cannot be above .02 when you are tested. If you are tested and you have a level that is greater than .02 that violates TTX’s Drug and Alcohol Policy. The Department of Transportation handbook has different rules, but they leave the final ruling in the hands of the company.  If you think you need help with substance abuse you must seek assistance before you are tested. See Addendum C Section 10 in the contract for more information, or contact your local Zone Committeeman.  Below is the DOT handbook with the alcohol testing highlighted in orange. Also below is a letter with more detail that you are encouraged to read and post at your locations.

Beginning March 4, 2022 the FRA has mandated that all railroads start issuing random drug tests for all their employees.  The Railroads are required within 60 days to submit their testing plans to the FRA.  Once their plan is approved by the FRA, then they will start their random testing. If you think you need help with substance abuse you must seek assistance before you are tested. See Addendum C Section 10 in the contract for more information. If you have any questions about this new rule, please contact your Zone Committeemen. Below is the new rule from FRA Administrator Amit Bose.
