DOT Oral Fluid Proficiency Mock Demonstrations

DOT Oral Fluid Collector Mock Collections

Required for DOT Qualification under 49 CFR Part 40

With DOT oral fluid testing officially authorized, collectors must meet strict federal qualification standards before performing oral fluid collections. Completion of training alone is not sufficient.

To become a DOT-qualified Oral Fluid Collector, you are required to successfully complete five consecutive, error-free mock collections for each oral fluid device used, monitored in real time by a qualified trainer.

Our DOT Oral Fluid Mock Collection Program ensures every requirement is met accurately, efficiently, and with proper documentation—protecting your credentials and your clients.

Federal Qualification Requirements

To complete oral fluid collector qualification, you must demonstrate:

• Five (5) consecutive, error-free mock collections
• For each oral fluid device type used
• Observed live (in-person or webcam) by a qualified trainer
• Written certification from the trainer verifying error-free performance

All mock collections must be completed in accordance with 49 CFR Part 40.35.

Mandatory DOT Mock Collection Scenarios

Your mock demonstrations must include each of the following federally required scenarios:

1. Uneventful Collection
   A normal, compliant oral fluid collection
2. Insufficient Quantity
   Donor fails to provide enough saliva for testing
3. Foreign Substance in Mouth
   Donor has gum, food, or other material in the mouth
4. Tampering Attempt
   Donor attempts to interfere with or compromise the specimen
5. Refusal to Sign
   Donor refuses to sign the Custody and Control Form (CCF)

All five must be completed consecutively and without error.

Qualified Monitoring & Documentation

• Mock collections must be observed by a DOT-qualified trainer
• Monitoring may be conducted in person or via live webcam
• The trainer must attest in writing that each mock collection was error-free
• All mock collections must be documented on Federal Custody and Control Forms (CCFs)

Device Handling & Compliance Checks

For every mock collection, collectors must:

• Verify and check the device expiration date
• Show the expiration date to the donor
• Record the expiration date on the CCF
• Apply labels correctly without covering expiration dates

Failure to follow these steps can invalidate qualification.

Important Training & Qualification Notes

  DOT urine collector qualification does not qualify you for oral fluid testing. Separate training and mock collections are mandatory.
• Multiple Training Formats Available:
  Qualification training may be completed via webinar, live instruction, or remote computer-based training.
• Effective Date:
  DOT oral fluid testing became authorized on December 5, 2024.
• Refresher Training:
  Required every five (5) years, including repeat mock collections.
