About the Training

The Branson Tri-Lakes HR Association is partnering with Tomo Drug Testing to bring an updated Supervisor Impairment Recognition Training to HR professionals, supervisors, and business leaders in the Tri-Lakes area.

Supervisors are often the first to notice when something may not be right. Knowing how to recognize the signs of possible substance impairment—and how to respond appropriately—can make a significant difference in maintaining a safe and professional workplace.

This training is designed to give leaders practical tools to confidently identify warning signs, handle situations appropriately, and properly document concerns while staying compliant with workplace policies and safety regulations. The program also meets DOT regulatory requirements as well as many company policy mandates.

Participants will receive a training manual for future reference, sample documentation forms, suggested wording for reports, and a certificate of completion.

What’s New in the Updated Training

Since the last training hosted in 2023, the program has been expanded and enhanced. The updated three-hour session includes more time focused on marijuana impairment recognition, additional hands-on demonstrations, and expanded instruction on proper supervisor documentation.

Participants will also experience interactive demonstrations using four pairs of impairment goggles, helping illustrate how impairment affects coordination and judgment. These updates make the training more practical, engaging, and relevant to current workplace challenges.

This format has quickly become the most requested training offered by Tomo Drug Testing.

About the Presenter

The training will be led by John Throckmorton, Senior Training Consultant with Tomo Drug Testing.

John, often called “JT,” has been with Tomo since 2000 and has served in many roles including collection technician, field manager, breath alcohol and drug collection trainer, operations manager, and account executive. Over the years, he has helped businesses develop and implement substance misuse testing programs and ensure compliance with state and federal regulations.

Today, he conducts more than 150 training seminars and webinars each year and brings over 50 years of public speaking experience to the classroom.

Bringing the Training Back

The Branson Tri-Lakes HR Association previously hosted this training in 2023 with strong participation from HR professionals and business leaders across the region. That session welcomed 54 participants and provided supervisors with practical tools to recognize and respond to workplace impairment concerns.

Due to continued demand and the new enhancements to the program, BTLHRA is excited to bring this valuable training opportunity back to the Tri-Lakes area.
