Company Contact Person

The company Contact Person is the company representative who performs management tasks for the company. The contact person can also log in to the Med-Stop system to perform assigned actions and retrieve authorized information.

Contact Roles

Primary Contact Person

This is the company representative defined as the primary contact. In Med-Stop, this role administers other system users, assigns rights, and manages the company setup.

Designated Employer Representative

The DER is an individual identified by the employer as able to receive communications and test results from service agents and who is authorized to take immediate action to remove employees from safety-sensitive duties and make required decisions in the testing and evaluation processes. The individual must be an employee of the company. Service agents cannot serve as DERs.

Safety Officer

The Safety Officer plans, develops, implements, and monitors the company safety programs in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. The Safety Officer also establishes and implements policies and programs related to injury and illness prevention, occupational health, ergonomics, safety, hazardous materials compliance, safety training, and records management.

For DOT-regulated companies, you must assign the company contact to the DER role.

You can create as many company contacts as required, but only one contact can be assigned to a specified role at a time. This means that there can be only one Primary Contact Person, one DER, and one Safety Officer.
