Reasonable Suspicion Supervisor Training
DOT-mandated training for supervisors and company officials who are responsible for making reasonable suspicion determinations for drug and alcohol testing.
What's Included
Course Overview
Federal regulation 49 C.F.R. 382.603 requires that all persons designated to supervise commercial motor vehicle drivers receive at least 60 minutes of training on alcohol misuse and an additional 60 minutes of training on controlled substance use. This course satisfies that requirement.
The training covers the physical, behavioral, speech, and performance indicators of probable alcohol misuse and use of controlled substances. You'll learn how to recognize the signs, document your observations, and follow the proper procedures for initiating a reasonable suspicion test.
As a supervisor, making a reasonable suspicion determination is one of the most critical — and stressful — responsibilities you may face. This course gives you the confidence and knowledge to handle these situations correctly, protecting both your drivers and your company.
