Frequently Asked Questions
Testing protocols are detailed and specific, and this module walks supervisors through how a compliant DOT alcohol test should be carried out.
The module walks the full testing procedure from start to finish, so a supervisor can recognise when a test has been carried out to DOT standard and when it has not.
Management is responsible for keeping the programme itself DOT-compliant, distinct from administering any individual test. The module separates the two responsibilities.
The module covers what a supervisor still needs to know when a test is carried out elsewhere — responsibility for compliance does not transfer with the sample.
Because alcohol testing protocols are detailed and specific, following each step precisely is what keeps a testing program legally defensible.
