About Our DOT Alcohol Test

What is a DOT Breath Alcohol Test?

A DOT breath alcohol test (also called a DOT alcohol test) is an alcohol breath test required by the Department of Transportation for employees in safety-sensitive positions.

Testing procedures are outlined in 49 CFR Part 40 and require the use of a breath or saliva device approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Initial screenings and confirmation tests must be performed by a qualified breath alcohol technician (BAT) or screening test technician (STT).

Reasons for DOT Drug and Alcohol Testing

Department of Transportation drug and alcohol tests are administered under the federal authority of the agency that oversees the company's industry. The department and its agencies define the reasons for drug and alcohol tests.

A DOT drug test cannot be legally administered unless it falls into one of these categories:

  • Pre-employment
  • Random testing (as part of an alcohol testing program)
  • Post-Accident
  • Reasonable Suspicion
  • Return to duty
  • Follow up

Evidential Breath Testing (EBTs)

At Health Street, our DOT mandated alcohol testing is performed using federally approved Evidential Breath Testers (EBTs). These breath alcohol devices must only register alcohol use in a person's breath, and not any other volatile substance like acetone, for Department of Transportation approval. Approved testing devices are listed on the federal register.

Results of an approved and properly administered DOT breath alcohol screening test will never yield a false positive for alcohol consumption. This means it can be used as legal evidence in court.

About Breath Alcohol Test Results

For negative screenings, Breath Alcohol Tests give you instant results. Technicians use a DOT Alcohol Testing Form (ATF) to record test results. If the screening is non-negative, the person will wait a period of 15 minutes. After the wait period, there will be a confirmation test—again, with instant results. In these cases, only the confirmation test results count.

Test results over 0.020 BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) are considered positive, indicating that the employee must be immediately removed from safety-sensitive duties because of the amount of alcohol in their system. A result exceeding 0.040 is even more serious. The employee must be approved to return to work by a substance abuse professional.
