Six DOT Alcohol Testing Scenarios We Cover
Federal regulations establish six circumstances in which DOT-covered employers need access to alcohol testing. Fastest Labs of Florence administers testing for each one. Employers can arrange testing for:
- Pre-employment: Testing conducted when required by the employer’s applicable DOT program
- Random selection: Testing for employees selected from a valid random pool under the applicable DOT agency rules
- Post-accident: Testing after a qualifying accident within the federally specified testing period
- Reasonable suspicion: Testing based on observations made by a trained supervisor
- Return-to-duty: Testing completed after a Substance Abuse Professional evaluation and before the employee resumes covered duties
- Follow-up: Unannounced testing required after an employee completes the required process
Breath is the only DOT-permitted method for alcohol confirmation testing, while screening can use breath or saliva. Urine alcohol tests don’t satisfy DOT requirements. Employers must follow the rules of the DOT agency that regulates their employees when determining which circumstance applies.
What Happens During Federally Regulated Breath Testing
A certified breath alcohol technician begins with the required screening procedure. If the screening result reaches the level that requires confirmation, the technician completes that step using the Lifeloc Phoenix 6.0. Each collection uses an individually wrapped mouth blow tube.
During the visit, we complete the required three-part breath alcohol testing form. The designated employer representative receives the information needed for compliance records, and the employee receives the applicable copy of the completed form. Results are ready within 24-48 hours.
