New WebDATA Program Keeps Employees and Supervisors Up on Drug & Alcohol Requirements


Melbourne, FL (PRWEB) February 17, 2009

Edge Information Management, Inc. (Edge), a prominent provider of background checks and drug testing services, is proud to announce the recent launch of its new product, WebDATA, a Drug/Alcohol Training and Awareness program for employees and supervisors. This new online tool helps companies stay in compliance with the latest educational requirements mandated by federal agencies including the Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) and the Department of Energy.

WebDATA provides interactive training as required by the most recent federal government rules and regulations regarding drugs and alcohol. The concepts which are taught are presented through reading, viewing and responding. The user must answer accurately in order to continue to the next level, which leads to higher comprehension at a quicker rate.

Joe Langford, president of Edge Information Management, Inc., says that the company is excited to launch the interactive online computer-based training course that economically delivers in-depth employee and supervisor drug awareness training.

“Edge is pleased to meet the request from our customers for a high quality online Drug Awareness Training program that meets the testing requirements for D.O.T. in addition to many corporate drug screening policies,” he said.

While in-person group training can be expensive and difficult to schedule, WebDATA saves companies time and money. The trouble-free internet based point-and-click training easily fits individual employees schedules, making it accessible to a user at any time and leaves little room for error. WebDATA comes complete with four modules to ensure that employees receive the precise training they need.

The online education provides employees with a basic understanding of the problems associated with drug and alcohol use in the workplace. WebDATA also teaches both employees and supervisors about the drug and alcohol testing process from start to finish, as well as the role of a substance abuse professional in counseling.
