Before Your Drug Test: Rules and Requirements

Overview

What DOT BAT is

DOT breath alcohol testing measures breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) for employees in safety-sensitive, federally regulated roles.

Testing is performed by a qualified Breath Alcohol Technician (BAT) on an evidential breath testing device, documented on DOT forms.

An initial screening test is performed first. If the result is 0.02 or higher, a confirmation test is performed on an evidential breath testing device after a 15-minute waiting period.

Results of 0.02 to 0.039 mean the employee cannot perform safety-sensitive duties for at least 24 hours
