Encompass Workplace Testing, LLC

FMCSA has zero tolerance for fraud in our safety systems – that includes the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse.

We’re rolling out enhanced identity verification, starting with new registrations for employers, Medical Review Officers, Consortium/Third-party administrators (C/TPAs) and Substance Abuse Professionals through IDEMIA – the same platform used by TSA.

With more than 6 million users in the Clearinghouse, the stakes are too high to leave any gaps.

Next, these stronger standards will be applied to all existing Clearinghouse accounts for the same user groups

If you’re in the system, you’ll be verified. Period.
