3. PHMSA Inspection Protocol for Alcohol Testing Sites Compliance. PHMSA's Substance Abuse Program Comprehensive Audit and Inspection Protocol Form, Alcohol Testing Sites, Form No.:3.1.8 (Revision 2)" provides a separate inspection protocol for Alcohol Testing Sites. The Company provides this protocol to correspond with the detail found in the PHMSA Inspection Form. As previously stated, the Company will ensure that all DOT alcohol tests comply with Part 40 requirements. Alcohol Testing Personnel. The Company will ensure that only qualified STTs and BATs are used to conduct Company DOT tests. STTs and BATs are responsible to maintain their own verification documentation and will make it available to the Company on request. A supervisor of an employee may not be used to conduct a reasonable suspicion/cause test if that supervisor was the one who made the determination to test. Alcohol Testing Sites, Forms and Supplies. The testing site will ensure visual and aural privacy to the employee being tested to prevent unauthorized persons from seeing or hearing test results. The site will have the needed personnel, materials, equipment, and facilities to provide for the collection and analysis of breath and/or saliva samples, and a suitable clean surface for writing. The site will be able to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering the testing site, and ensure no unauthorized employee has access to an unsecured EBT, and that when an EBT or ASD is not being used for testing, it is stored in asecure place, Testswill beconducted on onlyone employee at a time. Only EBTs and ASDs listed on the NHTSA CPL will be used for DOT alcohol testing, and only an EBT must be used for conducting the confirmation tests. The OAP and associated manufacturer's instructions will be followed for all EBTs and ASDs used by the Company. It is the responsibility of the testing sites used by the Company to carry out this responsibility for the Company. Alcohol Screening Tests. Only the DOT -approved ATF will be used for all Company alcohol tests. The employee will provide a positive identification through the use of photo ID or by employer representative prior to the test. The BAT or STT shall explain the testing process to the employee, including showing the employee the instructions on the back of the ATF. If the employee has a designated testing time and does not appear, the BAT or STT will notify the DER. Testing will begin without undue delay. An alcohol test will be given prior to a drug test and medical attention, if it is required, will not be delayed in order to conduct a test. The testing technician will explain the testing procedure to the employee, including showing the employee the instructions on the back of the ATF. The ATF will be completed and the employee will be asked to sign the ATF. Failure to sign is a refusal to test. The BAT or STT will select, or allow the employee to select, an individually wrapped or sealed mouthpiece from the testing materials and insert it into the device in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The employee will be instructed to blow steadily and forcefully into the mouthpiece for at least six seconds or until the device ndicates that an adequate amount of breath has been obtained. The employee will be shown the displayed test result. The device will print alabel with, or the technician will write, the result and pertinent information on the ATF. Alcohol Screening with an ASD. It is not the intent of the Company to use an ASD for an alcohol test. However, t is possible that, when necessary, one may have to be used to conduct the test. In those cases, the STT or BAT will follow the manufacturer's instructions, and only use a device that has been under their control. The ASD may be either a saliva device or a breath tube. The expiration date will be shown to the employee. A device will not be used after its expiration date. The device will be opened in the presence of the employee, and the employee will be offered the opportunity to use the device, according to instructions. In any case, where the technician uses the device, the device will be inserted into the employee's mouth and gather saliva, with the technician wearing single -use examination gloves while doing so and change them following each test. Assurance will be made that the device has properly activated and that the correct amount of time will be allowed to elapse before reading the result. If problems occur (e.g., the device does not activate, it is dropped on the floor), it will be discarded and a new test will be conducted using a new device.
