• Different drugs and how someone may react while on that drug or withdrawing from that drug.
• Drug retention times.

• Alcohol abuse and how to spot it.
• Alcohol retention time and how the body dissipates alcohol.
• Intoxication vs tolerance.
• Six step process of standing down an employee for an RS test.
• Role playing, I am the supervisor and you’re the employee about to be stood down for RS testing how are you most likely to act.

Comes with a workbook with tons of forms and directions to complete testing in a nondiscriminatory manner.

Sprinkled throughout the presentation are our most famous cheater stories to keep everything light and hopefully interactive.
