Course Objectives (cont.):
This course meets and exceeds DOT Regulation 49 CFR part 382, "Controlled Substances and Alcohol Use and Testing" and 49 CFR part 40, "Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs".
But it doesn’t stop there. It also helps you give your supervisors the confidence they need to tackle difficult situations - such as handling uncooperative drivers - they’re likely to encounter. And that’s important, because if your supervisors don’t act on their suspicions, an impaired driver could be sent out on the road, putting himself/herself and others in danger.
This course will teach you to understand what kinds of observations they need to make, common symptoms of alcohol misuse and controlled substances use, how to document their observations, and much more.
