DOT Physicals

“Safety-sensitive" employees are labeled by the DOT, whose job can impact both their own safety, as well as the safety of the public.

​

This includes jobs that include professional drivers who operate commercial vehicles of five tons or more.

 

Using a combination of tests, DOT physicals follow strict guidelines mandated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, or FMCSA, ensuring that commercial drivers and other safety-sensitive employees are in good health to work safely and perform the essential job functions.

The DOT Physical is Comprised of Tests & Measurements of Several Things...

Drivers may be medically cleared for up to two years, with some exceptions that are determined by elements such as blood pressure and glucose levels. 

​Blood Pressure and Pulse Rate –

The employee or applicant’s blood pressure and pulse will be examined and recorded to look for high blood pressure and irregular heartbeats.

Urinalysis –

A urinalysis is a test that takes a urine sample to look for indications of underlying medical conditions such as diabetes.

​

Hearing Test –

Drivers must be able to perceive what is known as a “forced whisper” at a distance of 5ft or less, with or without a hearing aid. This standard equates to an average hearing loss in the better ear of less than 40 dB.

Vision Test –

Drivers are required to have at least 20/40 acuity in each eye with or without correction. They are also required to have at least 70” peripheral in the horizontal meridian, measured in each eye.

Whenever you need a DOT-physical completed, be sure to turn to your local TestFirst location.
