Accident Related Requests and Tests

DOT-regulated companies must follow the regulations for post-accident testing and related procedures. As regulated by §382.303, post-accident tests must be performed as soon as possible. Controlled substances tests must be performed within 32 hours following the accident. Alcohol tests must be performed within 8 hours of the accident.

The Accident window Tests top menu option lists all accident-related Test Requests and Tests. Click a request or test record to view the details.

The requirement to test for alcohol and controlled substances following an accident should not delay necessary medical attention for injured people or prevent a driver from leaving the scene to obtain assistance or emergency medical care.
