Thursday, March 19, 2020 - 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM
This full-day course will provide a comprehensive overview of the FTA Drug and Alcohol testing program, covering all major topic areas of FTA drug & alcohol compliance. It offers the needed foundation and introduction for any new drug and alcohol program manager who may not have a lot of exposure/training on the USDOT-FTA drug & alcohol regulations.
The course also provides, and allows time for, the in-depth and detailed discussions/case-studies often sought after by the most seasoned and experienced drug and alcohol program managers.
This course covers such topics as policy development and implementation; drug and alcohol testing categories; testing procedures; procurement of testing services; employer/supervisor training; and record keeping among others.
This training is also designed to keep transit managers up-to-date and knowledgeable about current compliance issues and the FTA audit process.
