Easler Education Inc. announced today that it has made public its DER Training Course for United States Coast Guard (USCG)-regulated employers.

ORLANDO, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, June 3, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Easler Education Inc., the online professional education company operating DrugTestingCourses.com has announced today that it has published the final course in its collection of Designated Employer Representative (DER) courses for federally-regulated employers. To protect the public, Congress mandates that all employers operating with employees in safety-sensitive, transportation-related functions abide by certain federal drug and alcohol testing regulations. These regulations are promulgated by the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) and its agencies and by the United States Coast Guard (USCG).

The Designated Employer Representative Training Course for United States Coast Guard (USCG) is designed to assist marine employers with navigating the myriad of applicable rules, exceptions, and waivers involved in managing a drug-free workplace under United States Coast Guard regulations. Marine employers subject to USCG drug and alcohol testing rules must abide by a wide array of federal regulations including the DOT’s “Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs” (49 CFR Part 40), the US Coast Guard’s “Marine Casualties and Investigations” regulation (46 CFR Part 4), “Marine Investigation Regulations - Personnel Action” (46 CFR Part 5) and USCG “Chemical Testing” regulations (46 CFR Part 16).

The online course is a companion to similar courses in DrugTestingCourses.com’s course offerings designed to train the designated employer representatives of employers regulated by federal agencies including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA).

-What it means to be a DER;
-The roles and responsibilities of a DER;
-The requirements for a DOT Drug Testing Program under USCG regulation 46 CFR Parts 4, 5, and 16;
