The primary objective of the controlled substances use and alcohol misuse program is deterrence rather than detection. Public safety is best served if drivers are aware of the effects of alcohol and controlled substances on health, safety, and the work environment.
Consequently, the FMCSA believes that educating drivers and training supervisors are
essential for these programs to be effective. Employers are required to provide educational materials for drivers (see Chapter 3) and training for supervisors prior to the start of testing (§382.601 and §382.603, respectively).
Furthermore, the FMCSA regulations and associated DOT regulations (49 CFR part 40) specify the involvement of professional and technical personnel in the administration of your alcohol and controlled substances program. These personnel include the medical review officer (MRO), the substance abuse professional (SAP), the screening test
