(1.5 hour Virtual Program)

This program starts in:

Reasonable suspicion training helps managers, supervisors and company leaders recognize the effects of alcohol and drug misuse in the workplace. It shows how to identify signs of substance abuse along with teaching how to make informed testing decisions without discrimination based on objective observation.

What should employers do if they suspect an employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol at work? This class will present the steps management should take to properly execute and document situations under a drug and alcohol testing policy.

Some examples of reasonable suspicion symptoms include:

• The odor of alcohol or a controlled substance on the individual
• Unsteady gait
• Slurred speech
• Difficulty conversing or understanding
• Dilated or pinpoint pupils
• Red or glassy eyes
• Hyperactivity or drowsiness
