Haus DOT Training
This self-paced DOT Urine Collector Training walks you step-by-step through every 49 CFR Part 40 requirement — from donor check-in to lab shipment — so you can qualify, document, and perform with zero regulatory guesswork.
"When federal regulation governs every step, there is no room for 'probably right' — and this program makes sure you never have to settle for it."
— LATISHA COLEMAN
What you'll learn
What you'll be able to do
- Accurately apply 49 CFR Part 40 requirements to every stage of a DOT urine specimen collection, from donor check-in through laboratory shipment
- Complete a Custody and Control Form (CCF) correctly, including all chain-of-custody entries, tamper-evident seal placement, and required documentation fields
- Identify and properly manage problem collections — including shy bladder, temperature out of range, refusal to sign, and suspected tampering — following federal protocols
- Distinguish fatal flaws from correctable errors and execute proper error-correction procedures to maintain specimen integrity and regulatory defensibility
- Demonstrate five consecutive error-free mock collections across required DOT scenarios, earning written evaluator attestation of proficiency
- Explain the scope and limits of DOT urine collector qualification, including what the training covers, what it does not certify, and how collectors must maintain ongoing compliance

Who it's for
Is this you?
Occupational health techs
Clinic-based technicians adding DOT urine collection to their scope need precise, regulation-grounded training before they touch a CCF.
HR professionals
HR managers overseeing workplace drug programs need to understand exactly what compliant collection requires — and how to verify their collectors meet the standard.
Third-party administrators
TPAs coordinating DOT testing programs for regulated employers must have collectors who know 49 CFR Part 40 inside and out — and this is where that training happens.
New collection-site staff
Staff newly assigned to a DOT collection site need a structured, start-to-finish qualification program before performing their first regulated collection.
Experienced collectors refreshing
Seasoned collectors who learned on the job — or trained years ago — benefit from a rigorous, current-regulation review that closes procedural gaps and firms up chain-of-custody confidence.
Safety & compliance officers
Safety officers responsible for DOT program integrity need first-hand knowledge of the collection process to effectively oversee, audit, and support their collection staff.

LATISHA COLEMAN
If you've been handed collector responsibilities — or you're preparing to take them on — you already know that "just figure it out" is not an acceptable approach when federal regulation is involved. A missed step on a Custody and Control Form, an incorrect response to a shy bladder scenario, or a mishandled tamper-evident seal can compromise a specimen, expose your organization to liability, and put a donor's employment status in jeopardy. That's not a training gap you can afford to leave open.
I built this program because the stakes in DOT-regulated collection are too high for vague, generalized instruction. Every lesson in this course is anchored to 49 CFR Part 40 — not paraphrased, not approximated, but precisely applied. My goal is simple: when you finish this training, you should be able to walk up to a collection site counter and execute every step of a compliant collection with confidence — and handle every problem collection scenario without hesitation.
What sets this program apart is that it doesn't skip the hard parts. We go deep on problem collections — shy bladder, temperature anomalies, refusal scenarios, suspected tampering — because that's exactly where untrained collectors make the errors that matter most. We cover fatal flaws versus correctable errors not as abstract concepts, but as practical, procedural decisions you'll make in real time. And we walk through the Custody and Control Form field by field, because "close enough" doesn't exist in chain-of-custody documentation.
The five mock collections built into this program aren't optional exercises — they're the federal proficiency requirement. You'll work through every required scenario, receive evaluator review, and earn your written attestation of proficiency the right way. And the final section of this program makes sure you understand not just what you're qualified to do, but what you're not — and what ongoing compliance looks like beyond your initial training.
This is the training I wish every collector I've ever encountered had completed before stepping behind the counter. I'm glad you're here. Let's make sure you're ready.
