DOT Alcohol & Drug On-Site Alcohol & Drug Compliance Training

J. J. Keller and Associates, Inc. offers this authoritative, timely and comprehensive workshop in which you'll learn exactly how to comply with the DOT's newly re-written CFR 49 Parts 40 and 382 alcohol & drug testing rules. All your existing policies and procedures must be thoroughly scrutinized. Compliance is required now. There is no waiting period. Even one mistake and your entire testing program could be invalidated by DOT, and your company could face backbreaking penalties.

We'll dissect the new law and show you timesaving, simple compliance solutions, so should you experience an audit, you'll be prepared.
