However, many supervisors do not understand how to properly use the &#8220;reasonable suspicion&#8221; standard, how to properly document employee behavior, or how to properly identify signs of potential drug and alcohol use on the job. The Reasonable Suspicion training seminar is specifically designed to meet the U.S. Department of Transportation supervisory requirements for one hour of training on the signs and symptoms of alcohol use, and one hour of training on the signs and symptoms of drug abuse. Reasonable Suspicion Training includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The role of the supervisor<\/li>\n<li>The observations a supervisor needs to make<\/li>\n<li>The signs and symptoms of probable alcohol misuse<\/li>\n<li>The signs and symptoms of probable drug use<\/li>\n<li>How to approach an employee you reasonably-suspect of being impaired<\/li>\n<li>Many Real-world &#8220;What if&#8221; Scenarios<\/li>\n<li>Refusals to Test<\/li>\n<li>When to Test and When NOT to Test<\/li>\n<li>How to Conduct Testing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Alcohol and Drugs in the Workplace Seminar<\/h2>\n<p>How does alcohol use affect your workplace? Do you think that alcohol use is not a significant factor in your workplace? If so, think again. Alcohol use has a huge impact on workplace productivity, attendance and employee turnover. Surprisingly, the workplaces most often affected by alcohol use are small to mid-sized employers, according to the Department of Labor. This seminar is specifically designed to guide supervisory personnel and provide training on the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The role of the supervisor<\/li>\n<li>The observations a supervisor needs to make<\/li>\n<li>The signs and symptoms of probable drug use and\/or alcohol misuse<\/li>\n<li>Medical marijuana and prescription drug abuse in the workplace<\/li>\n<li>How to approach an employee you reasonably suspect of being impaired<\/li>\n<li>Refusals to test<\/li>\n<li>When to test and when NOT to test, as well as how to conduct testing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This seminar will also address what to do if you do not currently have a policy.<\/p>\n<h2>DWI &amp; Alcohol Awareness Training<\/h2>\n<p>Although most New Mexicans agree that impaired driving is a significant social issue for our state, few business owners understand the impact that DWI has on their bottom line each year. Further, businesses can have significant impact on reducing DWI death and injury in New Mexico by adopting a zero tolerance policy for on-the-job substance use, as well as by fostering an alcohol-free culture at workplace events and parties. The first step toward understanding the impact that impaired driving has on your community, your business, and your workers is education. The DWI Resource Center provides comprehensive training on the effects of alcohol use, impaired driving, and DWI penalties. Our comprehensive training includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Understanding Blood Alcohol Content<\/li>\n<li>Signs and symptoms of alcohol impairment<\/li>\n<li>Overview of DWI death and injury in New Mexico<\/li>\n<li>Cost of DWI to businesses and communities<\/li>\n<li>DWI penalties and costs<\/li>\n<li>Ways to reduce impaired driving<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Workplace Training &amp; Seminars \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 CONTACT US for Pricing of Trainings &amp; Seminars Training for Business Owners,\u00a0 Supervisors and Managers \u2013 Reasonable Suspicion Certification Class offered on site.
