DOT Reasonable Suspicion Training

The Department of Transportation requires any supervisor who sends or refers employees for drug and/or alcohol testing under a DOT-Certified Drug Testing Program, to receive training in the administration and implementation of these procedures. Additionally, their training must include the physical, behavioral, speech, and performance indicators of probable alcohol misuse and use of controlled substances.

As per DOT 49 CFR Parts 40, 199.241 (for pipeline operators) and DOT 49 CFR 382.603 (for motor carriers), this online course will help you meet the training requirements for Drug & Alcohol Reasonable Suspicion Training. Not ALL employees (usually direct Supervisors or Managers) are required to have this training; however, most companies with a workforce that has an attrition rate higher than 25% annually choose to train additional management and supervisory personnel to ensure they can properly identify alcohol and substance abuse issues in the interim.

Train your supervisors to ensure your federally regulated workplace is free from impaired employees! According to OSHA 49 CFR, all persons designated to supervise employees must receive at least 60 minutes of alcohol training and 60 minutes on controlled substance abuse. This online course will help satisfy both of these requirements! Training must include the physical, behavioral, speech, and performance indicators of probable alcohol misuse and use of controlled substances.

This online training program will ensure your supervisors can develop and maintain a complete testing program while limiting the company's legal and regulatory exposure affiliated with these types of activities.

If you have employees who are required to receive pre-employment drug/alcohol testing and random drug and alcohol testing under a DOT mandated testing program managed by the company or a Third Party Administrator (TPA), you must have supervisors trained to recognize suspicious behavior.

How often do I need to take DOT Reasonable Suspicion Training?

There is NO "recurrent training" requirement for DOT Reasonable Suspicion Training. That being said, there ARE situations where you STILL must complete the training again: Supervisors who have completed this training (regardless of when) with their CURRENT employer are not required to retake Reasonable Suspicion Training. If you took the training with a DIFFERENT employer, this exemption does not apply.

While there is no refresher requirement, DOT requires that you have a working knowledge.
