WDTC offers a training course that prepares your Designated Employee Representative (DER) to perform their duties properly, which is required by the DOT. Every company covered by DOT regulations that employs safety-sensitive employees is required to have at least one DER.

In most organizations, the DER is a safety officer, HR professional, or other leadership-level individual who manages the drug and alcohol testing program. The DER (also referred to as the Drug and Alcohol Program Manager) is the person who is responsible for administering the organization’s substance abuse testing program. They receive test results and other communication on behalf of the employer regarding the testing process.
