Non-DOT General Designated Employer Representative (DER) Training is an online self-paced course created by subject matter expert and attorney Andrew Easler. It is designed explicitly for workplaces not regulated by the US Department of Transportation (DOT) or any federal agency, offering a thorough understanding of the DER role within this context.
A Designated Employer Representative, or DER, is a critical figure in any organization, serving as the main point of contact for drug and alcohol testing policies and procedures. The role is integral in managing a drug and alcohol-free workplace. In a non-DOT regulated company, the DER can be any employee appointed by the employer, often someone in a managerial, supervisory, or human resources role, and it is also common for small business owners to take on the DER role themselves.
The need for a DER in non-DOT regulated workplaces is critical because DERs serve as the nexus for communication and decision-making related to substance use and misuse. Their role involves a range of responsibilities, from explaining policies and procedures to employees to handling testing logistics and dealing with the outcomes of substance testing. A properly trained DER fosters a culture of awareness, safety, and accountability concerning drug and alcohol use in the workplace.
Enrolling in DER training significantly benefits both the individual and the organization. A trained DER can confidently handle matters related to drug and alcohol use, ensuring the integrity of the company's testing procedures, reducing the potential for legal issues, and safeguarding employee rights. These actions contribute to a healthier, safer, and more productive work environment and enhance the company's reputation for commitment to employee well-being.
