Drug and Alcohol Testing for CDL Drivers

Drivers who are under the influence of alcohol and drugs are a major cause of motor vehicle accidents. This Drug And Alcohol Testing For CDL Drivers course explains the federal regulations that mandate drug and alcohol testing for all transportation employees.

There are specific situations when the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires commercial drivers to be tested, such as before employment and after an accident. If a driver tests positive for drugs or alcohol while on duty, they will be immediately removed and offered a course of action to help them overcome their problem. This course explores the process of drug and alcohol testing under DOT/FMCSA regulations, including the removal and return-to-duty for employees and the process of getting help for substance abuse.

Use this online health and safety course to teach your CDL drivers about drug and alcohol testing and the role it plays in keeping everyone safe on the roadways.
