I have had discussions with colleagues about applying a Field Sobriety Test to those who may appear to be impaired to determine if they're capable of working in the lab. It was just discussion - we haven't had to implement anything like this. There are training requirements for how to administer the FST and how to interpret the results.

This makes sense to me. Has anyone developed training for TA's about how to approach these situations? I've run it into classes I've taught in classrooms and it can be a bit of a surprise the first time it happens to you...
