One of my crewmembers tested positive, but he got some counseling and took another test and came up negative. Can I put him back to work on my boats?
A mariner who tests positive for a dangerous drug cannot return to work in a safety sensitive position until he or she has obtained a return to work letter from the MRO, regardless of any other treatment, counseling, or subsequent drug tests. A marine employer that knowingly returns a mariner to duty without the return to work letter is subject to a civil penalty of up to $5,500.
