Accused Of Alleged Drug and Alcohol Testing Violations
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a $57,000 civil penalty against Murfreesboro Aviation of Murfreesboro, Tenn., for allegedly failing to comply with FAA drug and alcohol testing requirements on five safety-sensitive employees. The FAA alleges that between October 2018 and October 2019, the company failed to conduct pre-employment drug tests and receive verified negative results before hiring or transferring the five employees into safety-sensitive positions. All the employees performed maintenance and preventive maintenance duties on aircraft when the company had not received negative test results for them.
