Why Train?

In some cases, the law requires it. For example, organizations that employ DOT-regulated workers are required to have supervisors trained on reasonable suspicion drug and alcohol-related issues. Many states also provide financial incentives to conduct supervisor and employee training as part of its Drug-Free Workplace program. Drug and alcohol abuse costs organizations billions of dollars each year in lost time, accidents, lawsuits, and low productivity. Raising awareness on these issues for supervisors and employees may help to reduce these unnecessary costs and promote a corporate culture that is committed to maintaining a drug-free workplace.
