MARCOM's "Adaptive Learning” course on DOT "Reasonable Suspicion” Testing Overview... for Managers and Supervisors discusses the concept of reasonable suspicion testing, how managers and supervisors can administer the regulation fairly and effectively, and the new "oral fluids testing” method. Under federal law, managers who suspect that a commercial driver has a substance use disorder or is actually impaired are required to send the employee for immediate drug and alcohol testing. Called "reasonable suspicion” testing, it is one of the six situations in which motor carrier employees who perform "safety-sensitive” duties, such as driving, are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing. By getting impaired drivers off the road, "reasonable suspicion” testing can help prevent road accidents, injuries… even fatalities. Areas covered in the course include information on an overview of "Reasonable Suspicion" testing, what makes suspicion "reasonable", recognizing signs of substance use disorders, approaching employees who may be impaired and more. The course is divided into a number of logical chapters so information is easily understood... and retained. Using MARCOM’s unique "Adaptive Learning” logic, the course first tests employees to determine if they know enough about the information in each chapter to "test out” of that chapter… and if they do, reconfigures the course to skip those chapters… providing the most cost-effective safety and regulatory compliance training available today.
