Send feedbackCan a cardholder use their virtual card when undertaking a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) test on a Breathalyser?
Currently virtual RIW cards will not register results to the cardholders profile on the RIW system. However, if a virtual card is scanned on the BAC unit, it will enable the cardholder to conduct a BAC test which can be verified by the Access Controller at the time of testing. However, the result will not be recorded against the cardholders profile in the RIW system.

Send feedbackWhat is the process for using a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) Breathalyser Unit?
Step 1
Cardholder enters site.
Step 2
Cardholder scans card on QR code reader.
Step 3
Cardholder blows into the Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) Breathalyser device.
Step 4
Cardholder finds an Access Controller or Spot Checker to swipe in to site.
Step 5
Access Controller or Spot Checker scans card.
Step 6
Access Controller or Spot Checker confirms the cardholder meets site requirements (BAC test completed and meets minimum site and job competency requirements etc.)
Step 7
Access Controller or Spot Checker confirms swipe.
Step 8
Cardholder begins shift.
If a cardholder scans on to site first via an Access Controller or Spot Checker, no results would be visible on the cardholder profile upon swiping. Therefore, we recommend breathalyser tests are conducted prior to the cardholder swiping on to site via Access Controller or Spot Checker.
