Marcom, VTRN4399EM, DVD Program DOT Reasonable Suspicion Testing... for Managers and Supervisors (Part II)
Making sure that drivers and other employees with "safety-sensitive" jobs are not impaired by drugs or alcohol while they are working is an important part of managers' and supervisors' jobs. Part of this responsibility is knowing the indicators of alcohol or drug impairment and when an employee should be sent for a "reasonable suspicion" drug or alcohol test.
MARCOM's updated course "DOT ‘Reasonable Suspicion' Testing…for Managers and Supervisors (Part II)" discusses how to recognize that someone has been drinking, the testing process itself (including the "oral fluids testing) option, and removing employees from their jobs as well as getting them back to work.
Topics covered in this course include:
- The behavioral signs of alcohol misuse
- The physical signs of alcohol misuse
- Approaching the employee
- Drug and alcohol testing basics
- How drug and alcohol tests are conducted
- The "Removal from Work" and the "Return-to-Duty" process
- Getting help for substance use disorders
- …and more
