Important Information About this Training Program:
The goal of this program is to motivate supervisors,
increase their awareness, reduce enabling, and improve their willingness to cooperate with the drug-free
workplace policy of the employer. This program is editable, so you can make any changes desired and add
to its capabilities over time to meet the needs of supervisors governed by any of the five DOT-regulated
industries. Use this training program to educate supervisors in non-DOT training in any work setting too,
as well—like school principals, construction managers, nurse supervisors, and other professionals who supervise
employee populations known for higher than normal rates of substance abuse.

This was easy for me to modify to meet my needs today—exactly what I was
looking for. I needed to develop a course quickly, but I didn't want to kill myself doing it. The content
was well developed and broad enough that I could adjust the run time by dropping a few slides rather
than having to add slides to make it longer. Thanks!
