Question & Answer: Excerpts from the DATIA Forum
|
|
Question: I cannot find anywhere in the Part 40 that Breath Alcohol Technicians must have certificates and copies of these certificates must be given to C/TPA, employers, etc. upon request. We have many TPA's that request these certficates and I am at a loss on why. Was this something that was done in the past and has continued on?
Answer: Section 40.213 (g) What training requirements must STTs and BATs meet? in the 49 CFR Part 40 states that "you must maintain documentation showing that you currently meet all requirements of this section. You must provide this documentation on request to DOT Agency Representatives and to employers and C/TPA's who are negotiating to use your services.
