Who is responsible for retaining a collector's training records and documentation?

The responsibility for retaining a collector's training records and documentation primarily falls to the collector themselves. Collectors are required to maintain their own records to ensure compliance with regulatory standards and to demonstrate their qualifications and training in the field of drug and alcohol testing. This self-maintenance of documentation not only supports individual accountability but also plays a crucial role in ensuring that they remain up-to-date with best practices and regulatory changes.

While employers, regulatory agencies, and third-party administrators may have their own responsibilities regarding training and compliance documentation, it is ultimately the collector's duty to keep their training records organized and accessible. This ensures that they can present this information when necessary, particularly during audits or inspections.
