DOT Reasonable Suspicion Testing For Managers And Supervisors: Part 1

Driving under the influence continues to be a major cause of accidents. As a result, federal law requires motor carriers to implement drug and alcohol testing regulations for commercial vehicle drivers. This course, part one in a two-part series, explains the DOT Reasonable Suspicion testing process for managers and supervisors.

Showing why Reasonable Suspicion testing is considered the most unique of the six different situations in which drug and alcohol tests may be administered, this course teaches managers and supervisors how to mitigate some of the discomfort this responsibility can cause them. Collectively, the six modules in this course equip leaders with the knowledge, understanding, and insight they need to effectively manage drug misuse and abuse in their workplace.

Use this course so managers and supervisors learn Reasonable Suspicion testing best practices to make the conversation more pleasant and productive when an employee is suspected of substance abuse. This two-part course has been created to help satisfy the DOT’s 2-Hour Reasonable Suspicion training requirements.
