Workplace drug and alcohol training is designed for employees, managers, supervisors, and HR professionals in any industry. Supervisors need it most, since they must recognize impairment, document observations, and act on reasonable suspicion. Safety-sensitive operations such as transportation and heavy equipment benefit especially. The 14-minute video is available in English, Spanish and French.
The Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 requires covered federal contractors and grantees to run a drug-free awareness program for employees. For commercial drivers, 49 CFR 382.603 covers supervisors who make reasonable suspicion decisions. They need at least 60 minutes of training on alcohol misuse and 60 minutes on controlled substances.
Reasonable suspicion testing is a drug or alcohol test ordered when a trained supervisor observes specific, current signs that an employee may be impaired. Observations should cover appearance, behavior, speech, or odor and be documented right away. Testing based on rumors or personal dislike is not reasonable suspicion and can create legal problems.
Common signs of drug use at work include unexplained absences, frequent breaks, declining productivity, and more mistakes or accidents. Physical clues may include unusually dilated or pinpoint pupils, drowsiness, restlessness, and poor coordination. Sudden mood changes and secrecy are other warning signs worth documenting and reporting to HR.
A workplace drug and alcohol policy should state what conduct is prohibited, when testing occurs, and the consequences of violations. It should explain how supervisors handle reasonable suspicion, how test results stay confidential, and what help is available through an employee assistance program. Apply the policy consistently to every employee.
