Who must receive training on DOT testing?
  • Employers are required to train drivers prior to participating in the testing program.
  • Employers are required to have supervisors trained on how to request reasonable suspicion tests before starting a program under Part 382.

Educating drivers and training supervisors is essential for a company’s Department of Transportation (DOT) drug and alcohol program to be effective. Employers are required to provide training for supervisors prior to the start of the testing program.

Employers must provide training to all persons who supervise drivers subject to the regulations. This training helps supervisors determine whether reasonable suspicion exists to require a driver to undergo testing.

The supervisor training must include at least 60 minutes on alcohol misuse and 60 minutes on controlled substances use (120 minutes total).
