DOT Reasonable Suspicion Testing for Managers and Supervisors Part I

This safety video program on DOT Reasonable Suspicion Testing for Managers and Supervisors Part I discusses the Department of Transportation's drug and alcohol regulations, the concept of reasonable suspicion, situations that justify reasonable suspicion testing, signs that an employee may be using drugs, and the procedures that managers and supervisors should use to administer reasonable suspicion testing fairly and effectively.

Everyone knows that alcohol, drugs and driving don’t mix. Yet drivers who are “under the influence” are still a major cause of accidents. To help ensure that drivers of commercial vehicles as well as other transportation employees with “safety sensitive” jobs such as mechanics and warehouse workers stay drug- and alcohol-free, the Federal Transportation Employee Testing Act requires motor carriers to establish rigorous drug and alcohol testing programs. This two-part course has been created to satisfy the DOT’s 2-Hour Reasonable Suspicion training requirements.

Areas covered in the program include:

• DOT/FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Regulations,
• an overview of reasonable suspicion testing,
• what makes suspicion reasonable,
• general signs of substance abuse,
• behavioral signs of drug abuse,
• physical signs of drug abuse, and more.

The safety video program comes with a quiz, a scheduling and attendance form, a training certificate, and an employee training log.

Associated Regulations:

• 49 CFR Part 199 – Drug and Alcohol Testing
