Generated guidance. Confirm the source and its applicability before you act. How we check sources.

Based on 49 CFR 40.211, DOT alcohol tests must be conducted according to these specific requirements:

* Authorized Testers: Only qualified Screening Test Technicians (STTs) and Breath Alcohol Technicians (BATs) are authorized to conduct DOT alcohol tests.

* Test Types: An STT is only permitted to conduct alcohol screening tests. A BAT is permitted to conduct both alcohol screening and confirmation tests.

* Supervisor Testing Restrictions: If you are a BAT- or STT-qualified immediate supervisor of a specific employee, you cannot act as the tester when that employee is tested. The only exception is if no other qualified STT or BAT is available and the applicable DOT agency regulations do not prohibit you from doing so.
