Employees are responsible for implementing and conducting testing programs. They may do this using contract services, or joining together in a consortium that provides services to all members. Law enforcement officers will not conduct the tests as part of road and other inspections, any individual who conducts the testing must be trained to operate the EBT and be proficient in the breath test procedures.
| How will the DOT know if these rules being followed? |
|
Employers are required to keep detailed records of their alcohol misuse prevention programs. The DOT agencies will conduct inspections or audits of employers’ programs. Additionally, selected employers will have to submit annual MIS reports to the agencies. These reports will be used to help monitor compliance and enforcement of the rules, as well as to provide data on the external alcohol misuse problems and the need for any future program regulatory changes.
