The employee is not required to drink the water by 49 CFR Part 40 regulations. If the employee does not provide a specimen, or refuses to provide a specimen, the test will be marked as a "Refusal to Test" and considered a positive test result. The employee will be sent to a physician with expertise in the field, within five (5) days for an evaluation as to why the individual was not able to provide a specimen. If there is a valid medical reason, the test result will be changed to "Cancelled." Breath Alcohol Test. All tests for breath alcohol will be conducted using a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration -approved Evidential Breath Testing Device ("EBT"). The EBT must be operated by certified trained Breath Alcohol Technician ("BAT"). The certified training must meet the qualification as defined in 49 CFR Part 40. A blank air test will be administered on the EBT prior to the initial test and the confirmation test if required. This indicates the EBT chamber is clear. An initial breath test will be given, if the results are less than a concentration of 0.02, the test result is negative. No additional tests will be required. If the initial test result has a concentration of 0.02 or higher, a second confirmation test will be conducted. A waiting period of at least 15 minutes but no longer than 30 minutes after completion of the initial test must be completed before the confirmation test is started. If the results of the confirmation test are less than 0.020, the confirmation test will be considered negative. If the result is between 0.020-0.039, the employee must be removed from the work position for at least 24 hours. If the result is 0.040 or higher, the employee is considered under the influence of alcohol and the test result is positive. The confirmation test will be completed using the same EBT. Each test will have its own unique sequential number. A printout of each test will be provided and attached to the Alcohol Test Form. The printout will also include the time the test was taken, and EBT
