How Alcohol Breath Testing Works

What the Test Measures

Breath alcohol testing measures alcohol in deep lung air and converts it to a blood alcohol concentration estimate. This method is widely accepted for DOT-regulated positions because it produces immediate results and supports confirmatory procedures when required.

Why Employers Use Breath Testing

• Results are available immediately after the test

• Testing supports real-time duty status decisions

• Procedures reduce tampering and error

• Documentation meets DOT and audit standards

If you operate both DOT and non-DOT programs, we can help align testing workflows across your workforce.

DOT vs. Non-DOT BAC Limits Explained

DOT-Regulated Positions

Under DOT rules:

• A BAC of 0.02 requires temporary removal from safety-sensitive duties

• A BAC of 0.04 or higher is considered a DOT violation and triggers required next steps

Non-DOT Workplace Policies

Non-DOT employers set action thresholds in their written policy. Many adopt zero-tolerance or align with DOT standards for consistency. The commonly referenced 0.08 BAC for driving does not automatically apply to workplace testing.

We can help you align your policy with compliance requirements and practical enforcement.

Detection Windows and Test Selection

How Long Alcohol Is Detectable

• Breath testing: Best for current or very recent use

• Saliva testing: Short detection window for recent consumption

• Urine testing: Limited detection for ethanol; longer windows with EtG/EtS methods

Choosing the right test depends on incident timing and your compliance needs. We’ll help you select the most appropriate option.

Chain of Custody and Test Accuracy

Why Process Matters

Accurate results depend on more than the device. Chain of custody includes identity verification, observed collection, standardized procedures, and secure documentation handling.

Breath vs. Saliva Testing

Breath testing is preferred for DOT and high-stakes workplace decisions due to its immediate BAC results and confirmatory protocols. Saliva testing is often used as a screening tool in lower-risk scenarios.

Alcohol Testing FAQs

How quickly can alcohol testing be completed?

Breath alcohol testing typically provides immediate results once the test is completed.

Can an employee refuse an alcohol test?

Refusals are serious. In DOT programs, refusals are treated similarly to positive results. In non-DOT programs, consequences depend on your written policy.

Is mobile alcohol testing available?

Yes. We offer mobile and on-site testing for post-accident and reasonable suspicion situations when time is critical.

Do you support reasonable suspicion documentation?

Yes. We help employers understand proper observation and documentation practices to support defensible decisions.
