DOT Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Technician (ADT) Independent Study

Graduates are Certified as a "DOT Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Technician"

DOT Reasonable Suspicion Training for Supervisors

This course can serve as a Train-the-Trainer Course to prepare you to teach others and to create and manage a DOT Alcohol and Drug Abuse Program. The course includes a PowerPoint presentation for training others. DOT requires that persons designated to determine "reasonable suspicion" receive training on alcohol misuse and training on controlled substance use. This includes supervisors and anyone else who has occasion to direct drivers. This easy-to-use training program will ensure that you meet the DOT requirements and that you can develop a DOT Alcohol and Drug Abuse Awareness Program.

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.
