DOT “Reasonable Suspicion” Testing Overview… for Managers and Supervisors

This interactive course on DOT “Reasonable Suspicion” Testing Overview… for Managers and Supervisors discusses the concept of reasonable suspicion testing, how managers and supervisors can administer the regulation fairly and effectively, and the new “oral fluids testing” method. Under federal law, managers who suspect that a commercial driver has a substance use disorder or is actually impaired are required to send the employee for immediate drug and alcohol testing. Called “reasonable suspicion” testing, it is one of the six situations in which motor carrier employees who perform “safety-sensitive” duties, such as driving, are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing. By getting impaired drivers off the road, “reasonable suspicion” testing can help prevent road accidents, injuries… even fatalities. Areas covered in the course include an overview of “Reasonable Suspicion” testing, what makes suspicion “reasonable”, recognizing signs of substance use disorders, approaching employees who may be impaired and more. Using a powerful combination of audio, full-motion video, text and colorful graphics, this course provides the most cost-effective safety and regulatory compliance training available today. The course is divided into a number of logical sections so information is easily understood… and retained.
