Breath Alcohol Testing (BAT) measures blood alcohol concentration through breath analysis using approved evidential breath testing (EBT) devices. This is the standard method for DOT-mandated alcohol testing and workplace alcohol programs.

Testing must be conducted by a trained Breath Alcohol Technician (BAT) using an approved EBT device. DOT regulations require two tests: a screening test and, if positive, a confirmation test. Results of 0.04 BAC or higher are DOT-positive.

BlueHive provides breath alcohol testing through our network of trained BATs at collection sites nationwide.
