Can Your Supervisors Spot the Signs of Impairment?

When it comes to maintaining a safe workplace — especially in safety-sensitive environments — supervisors are your first line of defense. That’s why training them to recognize the signs and symptoms of drug and alcohol use is not just smart… it’s required for many employers.

🔍 Signs of possible impairment may include:
- Slurred speech or confusion
- Erratic behavior or mood swings
- Unsteady movement
- Odor of alcohol or other substances
- Decline in performance or attendance
- For DOT-regulated employers, Reasonable Suspicion Supervisor Training is mandatory — and must cover both drug and alcohol indicators.

Properly trained supervisors can:
✔️ Intervene appropriately
✔️ Document concerns accurately
✔️ Refer employees for testing when justified
✔️ Help protect the safety of your entire team

HealthWorks-WNY offers comprehensive training that meets DOT standards — and helps non-DOT employers create safer, more proactive workplaces.

The Role of the MRO in Workplace Drug Testing

When it comes to drug and alcohol testing, accuracy and fairness are critical. That’s where the Medical Review Officer (MRO) comes in.

An MRO is a licensed physician responsible for:
✅ Reviewing all lab-based test results for accuracy
✅ Determining if there’s a valid medical explanation for positive results
✅ Protecting the confidentiality of employee medical information
✅ Providing employers with reliable, legally defensible results

With MRO oversight, employers can be confident that their testing program is accurate, compliant, and fair — protecting both the workplace and employees.

At HealthWorks-WNY, our team of MROs ensures every test result is handled with the highest level of professionalism.
