Get ready to become a certified DER with our in-person FMCSA training starting soon!About this Event
Congratulations. You have been promoted to the position of Designated Employee Representative. Now, what?
Per U.S. Department of Transportation regulation 49 CFR Part 40, a Designated Employee Representative, or DER, is the person in a workplace who is responsible for the drug and alcohol testing program. The DER is the employee at the company, authorized by the employer, to take immediate action to remove employees from safety-sensitive duties if they appear impaired, to make decisions required in the testing process and to receive drug and alcohol test results.
As a DER, there's quite a bit of information you'll need to be aware of, but often workplaces aren't able to provide appropriate training and support for the role. That's where FCDT can help. Not only does the FCDT team spend a lot of time assisting DERS with key regulatory issues, but we also provide essential information that ensures that the employer's drug and alcohol program is always in compliance and the workplace remains safe.
