A DOT Breath Alcohol Test ensures that CDL drivers, pilots, ship captains and other employees in safety-sensitive positions are tested in certain circumstances to ensure public safety. An evidential breath testing device (Breathalyzer) is used. Employers and individuals can register online or call (888) 378-2499 to order alcohol tests for staff and others. Our DOT alcohol testing is available from more than 14,000 nationwide clinics.

Easy Registration, Testing and Results

We make it simple for you to register online for our DOT alcohol test. During registration, you choose the lab location based on your zip code. You will receive an authorization barcode instantly by email, and it can be texted directly to the phone of the person being tested. A map of the clinic location is sent with the barcode. The registrant then walks into the alcohol testing lab and shows the barcode, and their photo ID. Mobile post-accident screening services are available in most areas. Results are delivered fast, signed by a doctor securely reported online.

Workforce Screening, Digitally Delivered

I always use Health Street for screenings. They are usually convenient to get to and offer fast service. They assist in any appointment changes as well. So far nothing but good experiences.

About Our DOT Alcohol Test

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:

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

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. 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, a 15-minute wait period is followed by 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 work. A result exceeding 0.040 is even more serious. The employee must be approved to return to work by a substance abuse professional.
