\u00a0SUPERVISOR TRAINING REQUIREMENT Each of the DOT rules requires employers to provide training for supervisors of safety-sensitive employees. The training must include specific information on the physical, behavioral, and performance indicators of probable drug or alcohol use. Supervisors who may make reasonable suspicion test determinations must complete at least 2 hours of supervisor training\u2014one hour on signs and symptoms associated with drug use and one hour on signs and symptom associated with alcohol misuse. The 2 hour requirement is considered minimum. Any company is allowed to exceed these requirements. I.e. Greenwood Industries Supervisor Reasonable Suspicion class is a four hour program. Employers must maintain documentation of the Supervisor\u2019s participation in the required training. DOT Supervisor\u2019s Guide \u2013 Drug Revised November 2002\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Supervisors and other company officials who may be called on to make a reasonable suspicion determination are required to have 60 minutes of training on the physical, behavioral, and performance indicators of probable drug use, and at least 60 minutes of training on physical, behavioral, speech, and performance indicators of probable alcohol misuse. Supervisors are only required to have this training one time, and there is no regulatory requirement for refresher training. If all of your company\u2019s supervisors have already had this training, then the company\u2019s choice to not provide additional training is acceptable.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
