Driving under the influence is not only detrimental to your life but it also comes with a boatload of consequences if a DUI charge becomes attached to it. The potential to lose everything from work to the ability to drive and operate a motor vehicle becomes daunting because of how long a DUI can stay on your record.

Although DUI’s are not taken lightly in the eyes of the court systems, there are proactive steps and measures set in place to help drivers who get behind the wheel while they are inebriated.

Unlike other medical consultations, DUI evaluations allow violators the opportunity to talk about their current and past habits as well as personal relationships and work history with the end goal of figuring out how drinking/drug use has affected these parts of their life.

Being honest during an evaluation doesn’t create more trouble for a violator, instead, it creates a way for that person to get proper treatment for the issues that led to a DUI charge.

Testing positive on a DOT drug or alcohol test isn’t the only way that an employee can come across a violation. Each person’s situation can differ but the DOT return to duty process is the same for everyone.

Employees that are found to be in violation are not allowed to continue working until they find a substance abuse professional that can conduct a face-to-face interview with them. The employee must then comply with all treatment plans recommended by their substance abuse professional before they can be recommended for return to duty status.

Once the employee has been determined able to return to work by their SAP evaluator, their employer can then set up a drug test for the employee to take. A negative test result is the only way that an employee’s return to duty status can be marked as eligible.

It is unlikely for an employee that completes all steps in their return to duty process to not be hired or return to work but this decision is still at the discretion of the employer.

The US Department of Transportation (USDOT) has a mission to ensure that America has the safest, most efficient and modern transportation system in the world. Emphasis on the word “safest”. For example,  any employee that does not comply or adhere to DOT alcohol and drug regulations is at risk of losing their job.

SAP evaluations are a great way to help employees return to their safety-sensitive duties after a violation has occurred. They are administered by certified substance abuse professionals with the intention of evaluating an employee in order to determine whether there is a substance abuse problem present.

The outcome of these assessments helps employers determine whether an employee in violation is able to continue working in the service of the public. Jobs such as school bus drivers, train operators, and airplane pilots are enormous responsibilities to the public which makes providing an in-depth and accurate analysis very important when it comes to SAP evaluations.

Techniques for expressing yourself aggressively

Anger can be your ally in building a happier, healthier, and more productive life. To rebuild your anger and turn it into self-confidence, you need to think a little bit.

Contrary to aggressiveness, self-confidence is direct communication without resentment or irony—usually a firm and gentle expression. Here are some strategies:

• Ask yourself what you want to achieve. Do you want to be heard, or do you want to crush another person? Do you want to change or revenge?
• Use I-sentences to express your feelings. It is okay to say that you are angry, but why not soften it a little and say, “I am a little angry at what just happened” or “I am frustrated with what you said.”
• Know what’s wrong-don’t go around the bushes. For example, you can say, “I was angry when you said I was fat” or “I was angry that you did not pay the bill.”
• Tell me what will happen in the future. For example, you can say, “Let’s make a plan to ensure that the trash is removed without arguing,” or “Do you mind taking over the shopping list? I’m just not good at it.”
• Always keep your tone of voice polite. No one likes to be yelled at; as the volume increases, messages will be lost.
• Respectfully. No rolling eyes, pointing, cursing, teaching, or sighing.
