Non-DOT General DER Training

You are the human resources director for ABC Construction and the company has decided to implement a drug-free workplace policy. You are in charge. Where do you start? Should the policy treat all employees equally or will it be job function-specific? Should you include both alcohol and drug testing? What are your options when testing your employees? What are the reasons you can test? What should happen when an employee tests positive, but has a prescription? What if that employee has a prescription for Medical Marijuana?

This Non-DOT Designated Employer Representative course is designed to provide training on a wide array of scenarios that a drug-free workplace program manager (also known as a “DER”) is likely to encounter when managing a policy that includes employees not regulated by the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. If the program includes both federally-regulated and non-federally-regulated employees, it is recommended that you take this course and the agency-specific DOT Designated Employer Representative Course found on our DER & DAPM Training Courses page.

In this Non-DOT DER (Drug and Alcohol Program Manager) training course, you will learn everything you need to know to become a DER including:

• What it means to be a DER;
• The roles and responsibilities of a DER;
