If your job requires a commercial vehicle license, then it is necessary to pass a Department of Transportation Physical or DOT physical. This physical examines whether the potential driver is physically, mentally, and emotionally fit to drive a commercial vehicle.

​

SCT Medical Clinic makes this process simple. Our Certified Medical Examiners (CME) will visit with you and evaluate your vision, hearing, blood pressure, and urine to determine kidney health and normal metabolic functions. During our visit, we will discuss your medical history, surgeries, and hospitalizations, and identify any conditions that may require periodic evaluation.

​

When you arrive for your appointment, you must bring all the prescription medications you take, along with any medical notes that may offer more information to the examining provider. These notes may include, CPAP compliance reports, cardiac stress tests, and echocardiograms or notes from your physician clearing you for return to work.

​

All DOT physicals are performed by the guidance provided by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. As a fully accredited occupational health and safety-focused organization, SCT Medical Clinic fully adheres to DOT rules and regulations. Our physicians are fully FMCSA National Registry Certified.

  • What is the Drug Free Workplace Program (DFWP)?
    The Drug-Free Safety Program (DFSP) in Ohio is designed to help employers create a safer workplace by addressing substance use and misuse. The program offers multiple levels of participation: Basic level - Employers participating at the DFSP Basic level are eligible for a 4-percent premium rebate as long as they satisfy all Basic level requirements. See DFSP requirements below. Advanced level - Employers participating at the DFSP Advanced level are eligible for a 7-percent premium rebate as long as they satisfy all basic program requirements. Comparable programs - Employers implementing a program comparable to the DFSP are not eligible for a premium rebate. However, Ohio law requires all companies - in state or out of state - that want to bid or work on state of Ohio public improvement/construction projects to have a drug-free program no matter how many employees they have. This applies to contractors and all levels of subcontractors who provide labor on a state project or supervise workers on state construction sites. Even employers with no employees must have at least a drug-free program in place that meets the DFSP Comparable requirements specified below. Source: Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation
