Workplace Participants
What you'll learn:
|
Whether you're subject to Occupational Health & Safety alcohol testing, DOT alcohol testing under CFR 49 Part 40, or participating in a return-to-work program with your employer, alcohol monitoring is serious business. Even small, avoidable mistakes can put your job and professional reputation at risk.
MyCAMprogram gives you practical, real-world information about handheld breath testing devices, including how they work, what can cause unexpected results, and how to protect yourself with simple habits and documentation. This isn’t a compliance checklist - it’s a toolbox for professionals who want to do things right.
For far less than the cost of a missed shift, you’ll learn how to safeguard your results, prepare for testing, and demonstrate responsibility with confidence.

What you'll learn:
- How different monitoring devices work (and how they can provide erroneous readings)
- Why false positives happen — and how to respond
- What medical conditions and medications may affect your results
- How to document, retest, and protect your evidence
- How to live with monitoring while preserving your dignity and rights
This isn’t about checking boxes — it’s about protecting yourself with real, science-based understanding.
