Overview

This 1.0 hour training is geared for leaders in both the general and federally-mandated safety-sensitive (DOT) workforce, aligning with FMCSA §382.603 requirements.  60 minutes of alcohol education and 60 minutes of controlled substances education is provided in a non-linear fashion to retain audience engagement. Participants are also taught how to safely and effectively confront an employee suspected of impairment, and knowledge checks are peppered throughout to increase participant engagement and content retention. 

Upon completion, supervisors will be better equipped to identify physical, behavioral, and performance signs of worker substance misuse and/or impairment and know how to appropriately respond. All attendees with receive a certificate of completion and other valuable handouts.
