Through this online program, learners gain essential knowledge and practical tools to identify, document, and address potential substance use in the workplace.

Reasonable suspicion involves a supervisor identifying potential drug or alcohol use based on observable signs such as changes in behavior, appearance, speech, or job performance. This determination must be fact-based, clearly documented, and conducted in line with legal guidelines to ensure fairness and consistency.

Iowa Code Section 730.5 and Administrative Code 641 outline specific protocols for workplace drug and alcohol testing. Supervisors are responsible for implementing these protocols and ensuring compliance with the law while respecting employee rights. This training provides a strong foundation in understanding Iowa’s legal framework, recognizing potential signs of substance use, and handling reasonable suspicion situations effectively.

This training helps foster a safe workplace, minimizes legal risks, and reinforces consistent application of policies. By participating in this course, supervisors will be better prepared to address sensitive situations professionally and in compliance with organizational and legal standards.

Upon completing the training, learners receive a certificate of completion as evidence of participating in this Iowa-specific program. Additional resources, including templates, documentation tools, and helpful guides, support learners in their ongoing responsibilities.
