Instructions for Breath Alcohol Testing (BAT)

To ensure accurate and valid test results, employees must follow these guidelines:

• Bring a valid photo ID at the time of testing
• Do not eat, drink, smoke, or place anything in your mouth 15 minutes prior to the test
• Follow the technician’s instructions carefully during the test process
• Provide a complete breath sample as directed by the certified technician
• Remain at the testing site until the process is completed and documentation is signed

Failure to follow these instructions may delay testing or affect the validity of the results.

Prerequisites for Breath Alcohol Testing

Before testing can be conducted, the following requirements must be met:

• Medical Clearance Not Required – Unlike respirator fit testing, no medical exam is necessary prior to a BAT.
• Photo Identification – Employees must present a valid government-issued photo ID at the time of testing.
• Observation Period – A 15-minute wait period is required prior to testing to ensure the employee has not smoked, eaten, or consumed any substances that could interfere with the results.
• Certified Collector – Testing must be administered by a trained and certified BAT Technician using NHTSA-approved equipment.
• Proper Documentation – A completed Federal Alcohol Testing Form (ATF) must accompany every DOT-regulated test.
