Supervisor Drug & Alcohol Training

The main topics addressed in this DOT-mandated training (required per FMCSR §382.603) are drug use, unlawful use of prescription medicine and excessive alcohol use. In addition to covering those topics, we also answer the most common questions and concerns about the Drug & Alcohol BASIC, like:

• Who gets tested?
• What should they be tested for?
• What is the allowable Blood Alcohol Content (BAC)?
• How do you recognize a driver who is impaired and what should you do? What are the rules for conducting a reasonable suspicion test?
• How should you handle a driver who self-reports? What should you do when one driver reports another?
• Can you afford to not know the answer to these questions?

Knowledge gained from this session will assist you in developing and maintaining your company’s drug and alcohol testing program, which is required for all companies with trucks greater than 26,000 GVWR (and certain HazMat, construction, maintenance, or repair vehicles). In addition to the required elements of the mandated Supervisor Drug & Alcohol training, we will address many lessons learned from safety managers, enforcement staff, and Drug & Alcohol treatment professionals.
