Can an employer wishing to conduct pre-employment alcohol testing do so?
A DOT-regulated employer (except under USCG & RSPA rules) wishing to conduct pre-employment alcohol testing under DOT authority may do so if the testing is conducted for all employees (cannot select some applicants and not others) and must be conducted as a post-offer requirement (the employer needs to inform the applicant that he or she has the job if he or she passes a DOT alcohol test).
