(A) The town shall provide educational materials that explain the requirements of Part 382.601 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (49 CFR 382.601), consequences of violating the regulations, and the town’s policies and procedures with respect to meeting these requirements. The materials supplied to the employees may include information on additional town policies with respect to the use or possession of alcohol or controlled substances—for example, the consequences for an employee found to have specified alcohol or controlled substances level based on the town’s authority independent of Part 382.601 of the Federal Motor Carries Regulations (49 CFR 382.601). Materials will also be provided concerning the effects of alcohol and controlled substances use on an individual’s health, work, and personal life.
(B) Employees are required to attend an educational meeting(s) to discuss the town’s policies and procedures and to review all materials covered by this procedure. Each employee is required to sign a statement (certificate of receipt) certifying that he or she has received a copy of these materials described in Part 382.601 of the Federal Motor Carrier Regulations (49 CFR 382.601). The town shall provide these materials to each employee prior to the start of alcohol and controlled substance testing and to each employee subsequently hired or transferred into a position requiring driving a commercial vehicle.
