Alcohol & Drug Awareness Compliance Course for Supervisors
Train confidently. Protect your team. Stay compliant.
This comprehensive DOT Reasonable Suspicion Supervisor Training course provides the federally required two hours of instruction on identifying and responding to alcohol and drug misuse in the workplace. Designed specifically for supervisors of DOT safety-sensitive employees, this self-paced eLearning experience helps you recognize the warning signs of impairment, take proper action, and document your observations with confidence and professionalism.
Whether you’re a transportation manager, fleet owner, HR professional, or compliance officer, this course ensures you meet the requirements under 49 CFR Part 382.603 — and more importantly, that you know how to protect your company, your employees, and the public from safety risks.
🔍 Course Overview
DOT regulations require all supervisors overseeing CDL drivers and other safety-sensitive employees to receive a minimum of two hours of training — one hour on the effects and indicators of alcohol misuse and one hour on controlled substance misuse.
This course goes beyond basic compliance. Through engaging modules, realistic scenarios, and narrated slide content, learners develop a clear understanding of how to observe, document, and act when impairment is suspected. Supervisors complete the training with practical tools, printable forms, and the confidence to make informed decisions.
