At a minimum, each inspection will include a review of mandatory testing records (i.e., pre-employment and random testing; positive drug tests, alcohol violations, and refusals) and the records specified in 49 CFR § 40.25.  In addition, training and education records will be examined – training for supervisors is required, training for employees is required, and there is also a requirement for “Information Material to be Displayed and Distributed to Employees.”

MORE  ON FAA CONTRACTOR REQUIRMENTS

On January 10, 2006, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a final rule amending the drug and alcohol testing regulations in 14 CFR Part 121, Appendix I and J. The rule went into effect on October 10, 2006, and had a significant impact on the aviation maintenance industry.

The amended rule requires that each employee who performs a safety-sensitive function (i.e., maintenance) for an air carrier, by contract or subcontract at any tier, must be tested under an FAA-regulated drug and alcohol testing program.

A certified repair station under Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 145 must maintain and provide upon request to your Air Carrier Contractors.
