DOT Supervisor Reasonable Suspicion Training (FMCSA 2‑Hour Mandatory Course)

Federal law requires every supervisor of a DOT-regulated, safety-sensitive employee to complete reasonable suspicion training before they can make a testing referral — no exceptions. The Verelle Group’s 2-hour Supervisor Training satisfies this requirement in full, covering the mandatory 60 minutes on drug indicators and 60 minutes on alcohol indicators under 49 CFR Part 382 Subpart C.   Delivered virtually, this course walks supervisors through exactly what to look for, how to document it, and how to make a compliant referral — without guesswork and without exposing your company to liability. You’ll learn to recognize physical, behavioral, speech, and performance-based signs of drug and alcohol use; understand the legal difference between a hunch and reasonable suspicion; and practice real documentation through a guided case study. Each module ends with a short knowledge check, and every supervisor who completes the course receives a certificate of completion — ready to keep on file for your next DOT audit.   What’s covered:   • The legal requirement (49 CFR Part 382 Subpart C) • Drug use indicators • Alcohol use indicators • Reasonable suspicion vs. reasonable cause • Making a compliant referral • Documentation best practices with a real case study • Post-incident and return-to-duty basics   Format: Virtual, 2 hours | Includes: Module quizzes + Certificate of Completion
