Frequently Asked Questions
What is reasonable suspicion in the workplace?
Reasonable suspicion refers to the level of evidence needed to justify drug and alcohol testing of employees. It is based on specific, objective, and articulable facts that would lead a reasonable person to believe that an employee may be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Who should be concerned with reasonable suspicion training?
Supervisors, managers, human resources personnel, and anyone involved in the employee drug and alcohol testing process should have a thorough understanding of reasonable suspicion.
What are the potential consequences of improper reasonable suspicion determinations?
Incorrectly identifying employees for drug testing can lead to legal challenges, employee morale issues, and damage to the company’s reputation. Conversely, failing to identify employees who may be impaired can pose safety and productivity risks.
How can this training help my company?
This training will equip supervisors and managers with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions regarding reasonable suspicion, ensuring a fair and legally defensible drug and alcohol testing program.
