Reasonable Suspicion Training for Supervisors in DOT-Regulated Workplaces
Equips supervisors of safety-sensitive employees to make sound reasonable-suspicion testing decisions under DOT rules. Dedicated coverage of the indicators of alcohol misuse and of controlled-substance use, contemporaneous observation and objective documentation, approaching the employee, arranging testing and safe transport, refusal situations, and the supervisor's boundaries: observe, document and act, never diagnose. Includes observation and documentation exercises, scenario cases and a decision-making assessment, with agency-specific notes for FMCSA, FAA, FRA, FTA, PHMSA and USCG.
