Federal Drug and Alcohol Testing Training

In an effort to ensure the health and safety of the public and federal employees, Congress passed legislation mandating drug and alcohol testing of employees occupying positions throughout the federal government. In response to this legislation the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) developed regulations for the creation of workplace drug and alcohol testing programs.

The US Department of the Interior’s Drug Testing Program in partnership with DOI University has created 6 one-hour, online courses to assist federal employees and supervisors in better understanding HHS and DOT drug and alcohol testing requirements and procedures:

  • DOT Drug Testing Regulations for Supervisors
  • DOT Drug Testing Regulations for Employees
  • DOT Alcohol Testing Regulations for Supervisors
  • DOT Alcohol Testing Regulations for Employees
  • HHS Drug Testing Regulations for Supervisors
  • HHS Drug Testing Regulations for Employees

To access the training please follow the instructions below.
