The program can be arranged for:

• Managers and department leaders
• Human resources and safety personnel
• Public works, utility and infrastructure teams
• Construction, maintenance and facilities employees

• Supervisor responsibilities and limits
• Reporting and escalation channels
• Confidentiality, dignity and respectful communication
• Impairment and immediate workplace-safety concerns

Successful participants receive a J. J. Keller certificate.

Important Course Boundaries

This general workplace course does not:

• Qualify a designated supervisor under the FMCSA CDL reasonable-suspicion requirement
• Replace the employer's drug-free-workplace or testing policy
• Provide medical diagnosis, treatment or counseling
• Provide legal advice
• Authorize an employee to order a test unless the employer's policy and applicable rules provide that authority

Organizations supervising CDL drivers should select the separate Reasonable Suspicion Training for Supervisors of CDL Drivers.

Refresher Guidance

There is no single universal expiration period that applies to every general workplace alcohol and substance-abuse awareness program. Employers should establish a refresher cycle based on their policies, risks, contracts and applicable requirements.

Earlier training may be appropriate after:

• A policy or procedure change
• A significant workplace event
• Identified misunderstanding or inconsistent supervisor practice
• A change in employee or supervisor responsibilities
• A regulatory, contractual or risk-management review

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this course only for CDL workplaces?

No. It is a general workplace program for supervisors and employees. TBT offers separate CDL driver education and FMCSA-focused reasonable-suspicion supervisor training.

Can supervisors and employees attend together?

Yes, when appropriate. The instructor will distinguish the responsibilities and decision-making authority of each audience.

Can our workplace policy be discussed?

Yes. Provide it before the class so the instructor can determine how it should be incorporated.

Does the certificate authorize a supervisor to order a drug or alcohol test?

No. Authority comes from applicable law and the employer's policy, not from the course certificate alone.
