Required Supervisor Training

Supervisor training is mandated for companies with employees that want to initiate reasonable suspicion testing for any of their employees and has this in their written company policy. A designated person needs to be someone that interacts, preferable on a daily basis with the employee, knows their work habits, gauges their attendance, and would be able to notice any visible changes in the employee’s appearance or behavioral patterns and has written documentation leading up to the initiating of reasonable suspicion testing.

If someone within your company has completed the requirements, please forward us the documentation for our records. Once you have been trained there is no requirement to retake the course, but if it has been some time since you completed the training, you may want to consider a refresher course. If your trained supervisor has had a position change and is no longer involved in the daily interaction with the employees you may want to train a replacement or you may want to consider having another person trained as a back-up position. Not only is supervisor training a DOT/CHP requirement, but from an employer legal liability standpoint, it is considered a wise decision. For just a couple hours of your time the investment in training can prove to be very cost efficient should an issue related to employee behavior or an accident arise in the future.
