The Non-DOT 5-Panel Drug Test is the most common workplace drug test, screening for marijuana (THC), cocaine, amphetamines, opiates, and phencyclidine (PCP). This test is used by employers who are not subject to DOT regulations but want to maintain a drug-free workplace.

While not federally mandated, following industry best practices including using certified labs and Medical Review Officer services ensures defensible results. Non-DOT testing offers more flexibility in testing reasons, cutoff levels, and substances tested.
