This person is called the Designated Employer Representative or the Drug and Alcohol Program Manager and he or she is tasked with a need for intimate familiarity with the applicable regulations in order to ensure that the marine employer’s decisions comply with federal law. This course will prepare the DER to fulfill this role with all of the knowledge and tools necessary to perform this function proficiently.
Trained DERs are more likely to avoid making costly mistakes resulting in fines, penalties, and/or employee lawsuits,
