WORKPLACE SUBSTANCE ABUSE TRAINING

Online Training

Workplace substance abuse can significantly impact your organization. Potential accidents, performance loss, lawsuits, and other issues resulting from workplace drug use can be costly. Save time and money with our web-based training solutions that are designed to increase your supervisors' and employees' awareness and help them recognize the signs and symptoms of an impaired employee.

Supervisor Reasonable Suspicion Training

We offer a two-hour online course, A Supervisor's Guide to Reasonable Suspicion Testing designed to help supervisors recognize the signs and symptoms of drug and alcohol use and teach confrontation procedures. Each course includes step-by-step confrontation processes, detailed reasons for testing, refusal to test information, a chart of drug and alcohol retention times in the body and a list of community help lines. PDF files providing more detailed drug information and other pertinent topics are accessible with a mouse click. Chapter quizzes, a final exam, a Certificate of Completion as well as a CD version of the manual are also included.
