What is Breath Alcohol Testing?
How breath alcohol testing can save you money.
Alcohol is the most widely abused drug in the workplace which means that testing for current intoxication and prior consumption is essential to a safe working environment. Employees who have alcohol problems are nearly three times as likely as those without such problems to call out of work due to injuries.
Breath testing is often used for DOT-mandated alcohol testing, and the person conducting the test is called a BAT (breath alcohol technician). At Company Clinic of Louisiana in Shreveport-Bossier City, we provide professional, convenient, and affordable breath alcohol screenings on-site.

What is a DOT Alcohol Test?
U.S. Congress pushed for a safe transportation working environment in 1991 and passed the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act, requiring DOT agencies to implement drug and alcohol testing of safety-sensitive transportation employees.
Simply put, it’s a federal examination. The DOT alcohol test is recorded using a three-part DOT Alcohol Testing Form. The screening test is performed first, and if it provides a positive result (an alcohol concentration of .020 or greater), a confirmation breath alcohol test is required within 15 minutes. The results must be printed in triplicate, and the confirmation also requires a printout. Finally, a violation of .040 or greater requires an evaluation by a substance abuse professional as well as a return-to-duty and follow-up process. Consequences related to performing safety-sensitive duties following a positive alcohol test also vary based on alcohol concentration.
Why are DOT Alcohol Tests and Screenings Important?
Employees in safety-sensitive positions are often required to undergo Department of Transportation (DOT) drug and alcohol testing. This includes workers in the following industries: aviation, commercial motor carriers, maritime, pipeline, railroad, and transit. The test employs specific regulations to ensure it is valid and the employees’ information is confidential. Click here to read more about what these regulations are.
