Question
Hi, David:

My question for you is, how can I find out if the company that I work for, which isn't in the Aerospace/Aviation industry, has an approved FAA Drug and alcohol testing program?

Answer
HI,

My two suggestions would be to:

1.  Check the FAA website (www.faa.gov), especially under the CAMI (Civil Aeronautical Medical Institute) in Oklahoma City for a listing; or,

2.  Call your local Federal Aviation Administration "Flight Standards District Office" or FAA regional office (there is one in Des Plaines, IL; Kansas City, MO; Los Angeles, CA; and several other cities around the USA.

That is all I would know to do....

Good luck with finding what you need,
