(A) The city shall ensure supervisors designated to determine whether reasonable suspicion exists to require a driver to undergo testing under 49 CFR § 382.307 receive at least 60 minutes of training on alcohol misuse and receive at least an additional 60 minutes of training on controlled substances use. The training shall cover the physical, behavioral, speech, and performance indicators of probable alcohol misuse and use of controlled substances.
(B) The city shall provide educational materials that explain the requirements of 49 CFR § 382.601, consequences of violating the regulations and the employer’s policies and procedures with the respect to meeting these requirements. The materials supplied to drivers may include information on additional employer policies with respect to the use or possession of alcohol or controlled substances, for example, the consequences for a driver found to have a specified alcohol or controlled substances level based on the employer’s authority independent of 49 CFR § 382.601. City shall ensure each driver is required to sign a statement certifying that he or she has received a copy of these materials described in 49 CFR § 382.601.
(C) This policy is not intended, nor should it be construed, as a contract between the city and employee. This policy may be changed at any time at the sole discretion of the city.
