DOT Alcohol Test
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.

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:
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.
