TRAINING
Reasonable Suspicion Training for SupervisorsDOT regulations require that the supervisor or company official ordering a Reasonable Suspicion test has been trained in the recognition of the physical, behavioral, speech, and performance indicators of probable alcohol misuse and use of controlled substances.
Specific requirements can differ slightly, and training should be appropriate for the Agency that covers your specific safety sensitive functions. Training can be accomplished in a classroom setting, or by completing an on-line course. We have listed some specific agency requirements and options that will satisfy those requirements. Please feel free to contact us to discuss your options, and how best to fulfill this important requirement. Classroom Training OMS offers classroom training for Supervisor Reasonable Suspicion Training. The training takes approximately 2 - 2 1/2 hours. We try to combine supervisors from many different employers. We try to limit the attendees to one particular Agency affiliation, and type of business, so that we can concentrate on those regulations that specifically address the requirements of the covered employees. The session is an interactive presentation, facilitated by an OMS representative, that allows for input and ideas to be shared by all participants. It is a combination of PowerPoint, lecture, role play, and Q&A. The same type of session can be conducted with 2 or 3 supervisors from one employer, at your place of business. The advantage of this type of session is the ability to ask questions and get immediate input from other attendees and the facilitator. Please contact us to obtain scheduled programs and/or pricing. WEB based training There are numerous web courses and on-line opportunities advertised to satisfy Supervisor Reasonable Suspicion training requirements. The obvious advantage of these programs is the ability to complete the training at ones own pace, at any time of day or night. The disadvantage is in the inability to interact with others and the presenter, if you have a question, or concern We have reviewed many of them in an attempt to find one that we found acceptable to offer our clients. We looked for a program that was clear, concise, accurate, and up to date. We also wanted to find one that addressed the understanably uncomfortable interaction between the supervisor and the suspected individual. We have recently signed an agreement to offer the on-line web based courses presented by Superior Training Solutions, Inc. We are credited for the referral when you use the link below to sign up for training, or when you mention OMS Compliance Services, Inc, referred you when you call to sign up for training.

Supervisory personnel must receive at least 60 minutes of training. |
Employee Awareness Training
Employers are required provide educational materials that explain the requirements of the drug and alcohol testing regulations, and the employer's policies and procedures with respect to meeting these requirements. Most are required to also provide information concerning the effects of alcohol and controlled substances use on an individual's health, work, and personal life; signs and symptoms of an alcohol or a controlled substances problem (the driver's or a co-worker's); and available methods of intervening when an alcohol or a controlled substances problem is suspected, including confrontation, referral to an employee assistance program and/or referral to management.
ClassroomAN OMS representative will conduct a training session that lasts approximately 1 - 1 1/2 hours. It is a combination of PowerPoint, lecture, and Q&A. This is an effective way to get the point across that your program is a Federal requirement, and not just another attempt to control your employees. Presentation from an outside party allows your employees the opportunity to ask questions that they might not ask of an employer representative. This can also be an opportunity to discuss your DOT Compliant Policy.
