An employer learns a driver had a test result of 0.03 BAC. What is the required action and its limit?
- A.Let the driver continue without interruption
- B.Remove the driver from safety-sensitive work for at least 24 hours, but do not record it as a standards violation, since it is below 0.04
- C.Fire the driver on the spot by federal order
- D.Disqualify the driver for one year automatically
Correct answer
B. Remove the driver from safety-sensitive work for at least 24 hours, but do not record it as a standards violation, since it is below 0.04
Why
Results from 0.02 up to 0.039 sit in a middle band: the driver comes off safety-sensitive duty for 24 hours, yet the result alone is not a violation of the alcohol standard. That distinction matters for both the driver's record and the employer's reporting.
