A completed Alcohol Testing Form (ATF) is required to document each test, ensuring compliance with DOT and legal standards.
If a test subject disputes the result, the BAT must document the challenge, follow established retesting protocols, and report it to the appropriate authorities.
Accurate data recording ensures legal compliance, maintains chain of custody, and provides verifiable test results for regulatory purposes.
DOT regulations require test results to be retained for at least five years for positive tests and refusals, and for at least one year for negative results.
Only designated employer representatives and relevant authorities can receive test results to ensure confidentiality and compliance with regulations.
Errors should be corrected with a single line through the mistake, followed by an initial and date to maintain transparency and accuracy.
