Who Should Take This Course
Ideal for anyone responsible for administering a DOT drug and alcohol program:
Why Compliance Matters
- DERs are the single point of failure in most audits—missing documentation or late testing creates immediate findings.
- Improper handling of refusals, shy bladder situations, or SAP/RTD steps can reinstate non-compliant employees.
- Vendors expect clear instructions; a confident DER keeps collections, labs, and C/TPAs aligned.
