What happens if my employee returns a positive alcohol test result?
If a positive alcohol test is recorded the worker is asked to remain on site and a second breath sample is taken after 20 minutes. The worker and their manager are advised immediately. If the second sample is still positive, an evidential breath screen is performed with a signed declaration, and the worker is then managed under your company’s drug and alcohol policy.
