This test measures the breath alcohol concentration which correlates with blood alcohol concentration. The test is performed using an evidential breath testing device (EBT). For DOT testing, the Evidential Breath Testing (EBT) device must be on the NHTSA conforming products list (CPL) for evidential devices and are the only devices you may use to conduct alcohol confirmation tests under DOT regulation 49 CFR Part 40. The testing is performed by a qualified breath alcohol technician commonly called a BAT technician. This is an accurate test. An initial screening test is performed and at a positive level of .02 or above, a second confirmation test is performed after 15 minutes.
Typically a 0.04 breath alcohol level or above is a positive for workplace testing. At 0.02 an employee is sent home not to return back to work until the next day. The levels of 0.02 or higher show recent consumption of alcohol, a level of 0.04 or above show impairment.
