The Randomizer and D.O.T Compliance .

The Randomizer uses an internal random number generation logarithm based on the a pascal-based core "Randomize" function which uses a unique random seed number upon which to base it's randomization. The seed number is based on the internal system timer of the computer on which it is operating. By using this method, The Randomizer gives each covered employee an equal chance of being selected each time a population list is run on the program.

As noted in 49CFR382.305 Section (i), The Randomizer qualifies as a valid "computer-based random number generator".

CITE 49CFR382.305 Subpart (i) (Department of Transportation TITLE 49)

(i) The selection of drivers for random alcohol and controlled substances testing shall be made by a scientifically valid method, such as a random number table or a computer-based random number generator that is matched with drivers' Social Security numbers, payroll identification numbers, or other comparable identifying numbers. Under the selection process used, each driver shall have an equal chance of being tested each time selections are made.
