Common questions
Answers before you visit
Is a breath alcohol test the same as a drug test?
No. Alcohol and drug testing use different specimens, devices, forms and procedures.
Can a DOT alcohol test be performed before employment?
An employer may conduct pre-employment alcohol testing only under specific conditions and must treat covered employees consistently. The employer should review the applicable DOT requirements.
Can you test at our workplace?
Yes. Scheduled mobile alcohol testing is available across DFW, and time-sensitive response may be available by phone.
Do I need an appointment?
Most weekday testing can be completed during regular hours, but call ahead for employer-directed, Saturday, mobile or after-hours testing.
Who receives the result?
Results are provided to the authorized employer, agency, program or individual according to the testing order and applicable confidentiality requirements.
